Randy wanted the following know by all; He was always proud of his nephew, Ricky, and enjoyed watching him participate in the Special Olympics.
He loved teasing Nicki, Ruth, Julie, and Robin at IGA. He thought highly of Karrie Reitz, his case worker for many years, and considered her a good friend. Linda Sitter was truly a special lady in Randy's life. She was always Kandi's back-up and Randy picked on her daily. He was grateful for Rebecca (his nurse), office gals - Jenna and Laurie, Sidney Health Center, Dr. Kessler, Dr. LaPan and all medical staff that knew him and put up with his playful nature. Tori Davis was another caregiver that made an impact on Randy's life. A special thanks to Kandi Davis, his caregiver, who always went above and beyond to make him comfortable and happy. It did not go unnoticed. Thank you to everyone not mentioned that somehow effected or was affected by Randy.
