I was Randy's initial suppervisor for the 1st few years he was with us at Marketlink. He was a pleasure to work with due to his personality--always in a good mood, friendly and polite. He will be missed, he made an impression on all of us here and he made many friends. He was a trooper and came to work with his oxygen no matter what the weather was outside, riding the bus.

I only knew Randy from growing up with deaf parents and attending the many social functions they organized. The few times I talked to him as adults he was a gentleman and talked of being a lawyer to help deaf people. I'm sure he will be missed by many people.

I am very sorry for your loss. I have only known Randy for a short while, but he was a great friend to my boyfriend, Greg Mossman. It is always very sad to loose someone that you love. At least we all know now that he is no longer in pain or suffering and that he is in a good place. Please let me and Greg know if you need anything.
