I served with Randy continuously
from Jan. 1973
till Oct. 1974. We were roommates and best friends
all of that time. We have spoken by phone 3-6 times
a year since then, except when he was in Korea.
I called myself the HAWK and he called himself the
CONDOR, and we would go on and on about upcoming
epic battles between these two super-heroes. What
fun we had! What a friend he was. I could not nor
will not ever listen to anything bad said about him.
He was and is my friend.
I hope for the best for his daughter, mother, brothers and fiancee. I know
you are still hurting.
I am still hurting.
