My most sincere condolences to Kay and the family... Randy was, indeed, a man of compassion and caring, as a husband, father and doctor. We will miss him but God took him 'home' and now his spirit resides in heaven. Heaven gained an angel...we lost a good friend and great doctor. Prayers going out to family and friends.
