so sorry to hear about your lose. and may God comfort you in your time of loss.
If Johnnie's zest for life, Bonnie's great compassion, Nancy's wisdom and Charlotte's loyalty are any indication of their father's influence on them, then it's not surprising that Uncle Randall was a great father and husband. Though I didn't speak with him very much, as a child, I was always happy to see Uncle Randall, along with his brothers and sister, at our many extended family gatherings. I will always associate him with the warm memories that sustain us through life.
I had only met John on a very few occasions, I know he was a great person, I also know that he was very loved by his grandaughter Rachelle. I am so sorry for the great loss your family has experienced and pray that everyday it gets easier for you to accept your loss. Know that he is at peace now, and he is watching over all of you.
As a kid growing up I always looked up to my Uncle "Mac". I have many fond memories of being included on trips with him at the wheel of his "Woody" with his family. We'll miss our visits with him whenever we passed through the Bay Area. Kirk & Mona
I hope everyone can rest at peace knowing he's in such a better place! What a wonderful person, he will surely be missed.
