In 1983 Pooh went to live at Pensacola Developmental Center which he soon called “HOME.” Pooh was welcomed and loved by administration, dedicated staff and fellow residents. Here he enjoyed many activities, outings, parties and vacations with the PDC family. Through PDC, Pooh participated in Special Olympics. He earned many ribbons and excelled in bowling and tennis. Pooh loved his PDC Family and they loved him.
Randall “worked” at Pyramid, Pensacola, Fl and sometimes going to “work” wasn’t his favorite thing to do. At Pyramid he was taught many skills, arts and crafts. Many of his paintings etc have been sold. Pyramid staff has hosted many parties and dances, Pooh would always steal the show. He loved to dance and sing. He wasn’t at all Shy!
Randall loved spending weekends and holidays with his family. He especially loved Christmas, but most of all he loved his birthday parties with family and friends who always showered him with gifts. More than anything he loved time spent with his many nieces and nephews of all ages.
Pooh loved music, dancing, sports, animals, classic TV, hugs, kisses, hamburgers and the American Flag. Most of all he loved babies and hats and hats and more hats!!
Randall enjoyed going to church at Little Flock Primitive Baptist Church in Molino, FL, Sovereign Grace Baptist Church in Atmore, Al and services at PDC. Randall had the child like Faith in his Savior Jesus Christ, taught to him b his Dear Mother. That Faith unlocked the gates of Heaven for Randall where he was welcomed home by his Savior and then escorted to the long awaited reunion with family who preceded him in death. Randall is today a whole man, with the Lord, reunited with family and singing with the Angels. Pooh has traded all his hats for a Crown with many jewels.
Randall was everyone’s “Baby.” His smile could light the world. He touched the heart and soul of all who knew him and was always generous with his hugs and kisses. Loved dearly by his huge family and many friends. The memory of Pooh will never fade.
