Randy and I were good friends at East. And then became pledges @ KAPPA SIGMA. We spent some "fun" times @ K Sig. Functions. As actives, he was More fun. He and Bruce Barrett, and the "downhill racer" Rich Hansen, were (by far) the best skiers, Absolutely GREAT memories! Randy was always a "speed" guy! RIP, BROTHER!

Randy was a very good guy and I was saddened to hear about his passing in 1990. I had the opportunity to speak with his daughters after his death and told them what a compassionate person their Dad was. I was glad I had the opportunity to know him and I am sure his family is proud of his legacy.
Randy and I met at some events when I was at Highland and Randy was at East and we seemed to see each other skiing all the time.
My condolences to Randy's family.
