So sorry about Randy's passing. Many great memories of our early morning breakfast group that met EVERY Friday at Boswell's Restaurant for 15 years or so. Randy was always wonderfully upbeat, welcoming us with his warmth, good humor, and wit. The group continues to meet to this day but has never been able to replicate the "we are family" atmosphere that Randy created. Boswell's was a special place, and Randy was its heart and soul. A life to celebrate!

Oh man, Dee and family, so sorry to hear this news. Randy and Dee were a big part of the community of my life for many years. He was such a personable, open, positive, fun loving guy, and very supportive and compassionate to everyone around him. A personality and presence bigger than life. And he adored his wife! I'm very sad, but have so many happy memories. Love to you all!

I knew Randy from the days of going to Boswell's on 21'st & Forest to working for him after he moved to the last place. He hired me on the spot, after I quit another job, he was a little unsure about it at first, not wanting to step on any toes, but, it worked out well. I stayed with that job until I moved here to California. I will never forget all the good times. He was fun to be around at work & after work, as well, when he & Dee would go out for a cocktail, or two. Dee, Robert, & Bill, my heart is with you at this tough time. Rest in peace, Randy. Marcia

Randy was a gentle, loving man. I loved working with him and Pat. I had the best time washing dishes, and waiting on the customers at the counter. 1:00 PM, was designated as Pat and my "tea time," she would pour beer in a cup and we would begin to clean up and call it a day. I loved working with them! Randy was a great boss! RIP my friend.
Love and hugs to you Dee and Robert. Lyne
