Hey Dad I know your weren't mine by blood but mom has been with you before I was a year old so you were always my daddy.... The letter you wrote me a couple weeks before you passed I keep with me at all times. I love you and miss you so much and wished that my younger babies knew you better, I kick myself in the behind that I moved away:( but the 3 oldest always talk about you & it makes me smile! I'm going to miss you but I know I'm promised when I pass we will be reunited!

Aunt Ella, Sandi, Tami, Kim & Diane,
I am deeply saddened to hear of Randy's sudden passing and my prayers are with your family as well as Randy's family.
I haven't seen Randy for years but remember him when we all young kid's. Dad told me that Randy use to call him from time to time & wish now that I would have asked about their conversations.
Randy is now with many of our family members that have all passed within just a few short years & they are all now free of pain.
Love to all of you,
Sue

My sympathies go to your whole family...it never makes sense and its never easy but in time, it gets better dealing with it...he's in a much better place now...Love you Jenna! Hugs, Sam

Randy was my cousin, but I didn't meet him for the first time until last year at Hospice in Defiance,OH. My mom used to tell stories about Randy, about how close they were when they were teens. Ironically, they passed on the same day 4 years apart. When I met Randy I felt like we had always known each other though. My condolences to Heidi, his kids and grandkids. Much love to everyone.

Joe I sure enjoyed the stories we would swap with each other..the way you would choke and gag when I had you cracking up. May your family find peace and comfort... enjoyed working with ya...rest in peace brother...........g.hughes

Randy, we will miss you, all our love and prayers go with you..      Margot**Sandy**and David Edwards

I never knew you young man but your mother and i were childhood friends and i 
knew your dad also and his brothers. i feel her pain and your family too. may god bless each one of you and help you through this painful time may god bless and help you as only he can..you will be in my prayers and thoughts.

Mqm will surly miss you I loved you son so much BUT for now i will say by

Even though our paths only crossed a few times in life, I chairish the few memories I have of you. I'm glad to see there's no more pain and suffering. I am sure You and Pap are having a blast in the heavens and in the next life we all will be able to make more memories! RIP Uncle Randy

Dad I know that you are healthy now and no longer in pain.Your probably hanging out with your pap and my lele and zady. 
I cant believe you are gone.... but I will give up having you now because you were so sick, and it was not fare to keep you here. I know that I will spend eternity with you someday, until then I will hold onto our memories. We made some of the best memories just these last couple of years, playing monopoly, seeing you in church and taking turns picking places for lunch. I miss you already dad and I cant wait to see you again. I love you dad....
Jenna

Even though I only got to meet you once, I heard many stories about you from my mom, kim, duder, and tami. I want to thank you for being the only boy to have to put up with those 4 girls. I am sure you had your fun with them but when it came down to it, you wouldn't let anything happen to them. I'm gonna miss you and papa a lot and know someday we will all meet again!
RIP Uncle Randy

In the the memory of my Brother "Randy" , I will always remember you. Like the times  we had when you had your horse. You had taught it to give us girls a ride out into the field past the house,but the funny part is you never taught it to bring us back.We had to walk back. Its all the little things you done that  I chuckly about now.
  I also appreciate the time we got to spend together not to long ago, when Dad passed away. But I know the two of you are together now. I also want you to know that even tho you lived so far away and we didn't talk much,you  were always close in my heart.
   I will dearly miss you and dad.I'm glad you two can look out for each other till the rest of us meet.Your old friends here have gave me some short sweet memories of you.
Everyone will miss you.You were a GREAT Brother Husband Father Son and Friend.
                       Rest In Peace
                     Love Your Sister  Sarah (Duder)

My love and prayers are with you all I was so happy to be able to spend some time with uncle Bub last year. I love you all. Mindy
