Wow, sad news indeed!

Back when FTE had their Saturday night chats, he was on there, and he helped me see things in a better light on many things, he is missed.

RIP Randy

Didn't really know him but I'm sure I've benefitted from his posts. It was nice of you guys to post a few pics so I could put a name with a face. RIP Randy.

Steve, that's me on Randy's left, we always did the Nats West together and talked about both of us going somewhere, each with our trucks. Never going to happen but it was good to talk about.

FOMOKO, funny you should post that picture of Randy and Diane. I have an almost identical picture taken at their other house.

Thanks to everyone else for the replies, I'll pass them on to Diane at an appropriate time

Sorry to hear this...after looking at the photo that Steve posted from the F100 Western Nats I recall meeting and speaking with Randy. He and his family are in our thoughts and prayers...

Certainly is sad news, I didn't know Randy except for the posts he made. My condolences to his family. By the comments I can very well see that he was loved and appreciated.

Only knew Randy from his posts on here but always thought highly of him and his skills. He will be sadly missed for his input here and to all his friends and family. Deepest sympathy to his loved ones.

I considered Randy a cyber friend. This is a sad day and a major loss to this community. RIP Randy.

Just want to make a comment about the title of this post, to me it's not OT. This forum is about our trucks and their owners. Without the owners these trucks would be just piles of rusted metal sitting in a field somewhere.

What ever happens to the owners is just as important as what is done to their trucks, at least in my opinion. Maybe I'm stretching the purpose of this forum but I see us all as family. As stated, I hope someone would let you guys know if something happens to me. If not my death maybe a sickness. The outpouring from this group when some one is in need, or sick or worse is amazing. I know it would make me feel a lot better if I was sick to see the posts. I think I speak for everyone here, I like to be kept on the well being of all members and offer a good word or prayer when needed.

Please let the family know we're thinking of them, and when the time is right, please steer them over here to see Randy was highly thought of and cared about.
