Jodean and family, sorry to hear about Randy. I greatly enjoyed working with Randy at Campbell Soup. Especially the breskroom conversations with Randy, Gene, Ray Bob, and Ricky. Thoughts and prayers.
Randy was always looking at me with a sideways smile. Then he’d laugh at me. I suspect Randy had a bead on me. I will miss my friend.
Jodean so sorry to hear about Randy. He was a very nice man. He will be missed by everyone.
So sorry for your loss. You, your family and friends are all in our thoughts and prayers.
I’m so sorry to hear of Randy’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
I’m so sorry for your loss, brother. I never had the pleasure of meeting your father, but I can tell he must have been a wonderful person, because I see his light in you, my friend.
