I agree. Randy was an outstanding guy who had such amazing clarity on how to be happy and what is important in life. It is truely sad that he is gone and his presence will be missed by sooo many people. My heart goes out to his family at this tough time.

If you can- please help continue the work Randy did by donating or spreading the message about pancreatic cancer.

I dont mean to sound like an advertisement, its just that i witnessed the hopelessness of a PC diagnosis firsthand. rip LSF (age 48)
