     “Ask anyone who knew him in his youth and they'll tell you: Randell was an incredible football player, right alongside his two brothers. And ask anyone at all—from those who loved him his entire life to a stranger he'd just met – and they'll tell you: this man is a kind man. Randell's kind and loving soul won the heart of Genius Burke, his truest friend. And in 1975, the two became one. Children soon followed, two to be exact, and Randell's heart swelled with pride and love for the family he'd earned. That family unit's loving bond continues to flourish with two beautiful grandbabies. You can see Randell's love and kindness persist in the faces and actions of his wife, children and grandkids. We will carry on his warmth and empathy with love, tears and laughter.”
