Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. We will always remember the good times we had with Randy and the family and hold them close to our hearts. Our prayers for comfort are with the girls and the family.

  2. If I were in the hallway at Pepsi and heard Randy’s voice, I always turned around to see him because I knew he was going to make me laugh. Before I knew it, there were 7 others listening to him. I have missed him tremendously over the past year and now I won’t get the pleasure of hearing his hilarious stories ever again. Pretty sad day.

  3. Randy (the King) was one of the best guys I ever worked with, he will truly be missed. I’ll never forget the day I met Randy, I thought he ran the place the way the supervisors were gathered around and listening to him.

  4. Randy and I managed Enka Basketball together and was very good friends in High School. May God Keep the family in the palms of His hands and remember Randy is now in that house not made with hands eternal in the Heavens.
    I will be lifting the family up in my prayers.

  5. Dear Charles & Family, Our deepest sympathy to you and the girls at this time. Randy was a unique person with a wonderful sense of humor. He could always make us laugh and feel better about ourselves. The world has lost a remarkable soul, and we will miss him sorely. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Wayne & Neil

  6. So sad to hear this, Randy was a sweetheart I worked in a convenient store and he delivered to us, from Pepsi, Pepsi will be the same, super nice guy. Prayers for his family.!

  7. Sending prayers to the family. I worked with Randy for ten years at Pepsi. He was one of the funniest people I’ve ever known. No matter how bad your day was, he could make you laugh. I remember every spring, when we could start wearing shorts, he would always ask me “is that your legs or are you riding on a chicken?!” I’ll always remember that fondly. He will be missed.

  8. Heartfelt wishes go out to his family. He was a great Dad. I know his children will miss him so much. Allison , we love you…
