Rest In Peace Randy. You were the best Fenton Basketball player in my book. I have been thinking about all those Cubs day games we went to back when it is was affordable and before Wrigley had lights. I think I’ve seen more Cubs games with you than anyone else. You’ll be dearly missed my friend.
So sorry for your loss, I know the loss of a loved one is hard on the whole family. We are praying for you.

Rest in peace, Randy. Randy took care of me like a brother when I was young. He was a close friend of my brother, Glen Morris. We went to countless Cub games and played baseball and football with neighborhood kids-great memories. Although we lost touch, I will miss him. My condolences to Carol and the rest of family and friends in this difficult time.

Sincere condolences to Randy’s family. I have nothing but fond memories of hanging out with him during high school. Everyone always seemed to congregate at his house on Friday nights. I consider it a blessing to have known him. A warm, friendly, caring and humorous guy worthy of imitating. God Bless.

My thoughts and prayers are with Randy’s family. I am still in shock as we recently just reconnected several months ago but it was just like we picked up where we left off many years ago. That was Randy’s nature; always a big smile and a welcoming host to his house on Poplar St. He also acted like big brother figure; either watching out for you, lending a friendly ear, a helping hand or telling us where the next party was back in the day. I am sure his Mom and Gram where waiting with welcoming arms for that smile in heaven but it will sure be missed here. RIP Randy – Love you

The fastest journey on earth is the journey to heaven. It happens in the twinkle of an eye and we don't even get to say good bye, and it’s so sad. May the gentle soul of Randy rest in perfect peace. My most sincere condolences to loved ones and family.
