Laurie and family, Randy was a terrific guy. He was always upbeat, always had a smile on his face and a good word for everyone. I worked for years with him at WPES and he was an integral part of our student behavior incentive plans. The kids adored him and would work very hard to earn time to spend with “Mr. Randy.” I know how devoted he was to you and his children. I am so very sorry for your loss.
