    I’m going to really miss you brother. You helped me learn so much. Ever since we met 5 years ago (almost to the day) while sharing a locker at 7 acres we’ve got along. Your counsel, opinions and kindness will truly be missed. I’ll see you when I get to the other side brother. Until then.

    Randy and i became friends in high school, he headed to Canada after graduation and I joined the Navy. We kept in contact over the years. Randy was always an uplifting spirit among our friends. He was always insightful, thoughtful and a friend to everyone he touched. He was a great hunter and fisherman, but a horrible banjo player:)
    The world is a lesser place without Randy in it with us. But take heart that he will love on…and always be in our thoughts, hearts and memories.

    Dorothy: So sorry to hear about Randy!
    We could not believe it. We would love to chat sometime and get up to date.
    We miss seeing you. Your Mom and Dad and the whole Rydall family mean so much to us.
    With the Passing of John recently we have been brought to the reality that we must take time
    for each other and share while we still have time.
    We send our Love and Prayers.
    May the good memories you have be a strength to you in the days ahead.
    Blessings Karen & Larry Buchanan

    My condolences to all of Randy’s family & friend’s. Randy was such a light, and will be greatly missed. I was a co-worker/friend of Randy & Erin. My dogs and I got to spend quite bit of time out at the lake with them both…..boy did we all have fun! Randy always wore a smile, & was filled laughter, kindness & incredable stories. I’m so thankful for the time my dogs and I got spend with you & Erin.
    Rest easy my animal loving hippie friend.
    The boys & I will miss you dearly
