his beloved Camaro, but his passion was his family and friends. He loved sharing his favorite place, his
childhood home, which became his own home on the Skykomish River, with everyone who knew him.
Randy knew how to love, laugh, and make each and every person he came in contact with feel
important and special. He had a gift of making you feel better just by being near him. He was truly
cherished and will be greatly missed.
