be deeply missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.”

“I am truly blessed to have Rande in my life. Even though he is no longer here in sight, he will always be here in
spirit. His leadership and guidance go above and beyond. With respect and gratitude, he humbly welcomed me to share his experiences, as an equal, always asking for and respecting my opinion, as we navigated our way through the day-to-day surprises, and tasks-at-hand. Rande’s character and unwavering confidence and support, through his actions and words, continue to direct me. Rande will always be a guiding force in my journeys, and I thank him for allowing me to be a part of his. Until we meet again … ‘keep the light on for me’.”
