My father was taken entirely too soon. I was just a baby, so I have few memories of him, but I\'ve grown up to view him as a hero. He died while serving another, and I\'m proud of his service. He has been greatly missed.

I had the honor to work with Randy about 1 year. I believe he was one of the best street officers to ever wear a uniform. He could catch criminals no one else could seem to catch. It was an honor to work with him.
