Bonnie - My sincerest condolences to you and your children on Randy’s passing.
Randy was, is and will always be my best friend. He shared his love of life with me, from which we had many, many great times. In golf, Randy was the Seve Ballesteros of our time. He would hit his drive into places that I though not possible, then make a brilliant come back shot. It was fun to play as a team, as our competition would think that they had won a hole when they saw one of Randy’s errant drives, only to have their bubble burst when he made an incredible shot to save the hole. When Randy taught me how to sail c -scows, the first lesson was how to right the boat after capsizing. We used to say that we were the best at this until one of the other sailors pointed out that one cannot sail fast while swimming. Randy got the point and become a great sailor. I will always remember the good laughs we had and continue to tell the stories of the crazy fun things Randy instigated.
Randy - I will see you on the other side where I know there are a couple of cold beers waiting for us before our next round of golf.
John Picken
