I had the pleasure of meeting Randy and Sherrie when I was asked if I would like to work for one of their R. V. parks. This was to be temporary and it was anything but. I started my adventure, managing the RV park and had a need to call Mr. Randy one day as I was hearing a dog cry and it sounded like he was stuck in the wall. When I called Mr. Randy and told him I had a problem... There was a dog crying and I could hear it in my office and I thought it was stuck in the wall. So when I told him that he said, how did I think it got stuck in the wall? And I told him, I did not know to which he replied. Are you sure it's apartment? I quickly asked what apartment not having been told about that, it sets above my office and is a two story apartment and the dog was in the apartment with his owners :) Him and Sherrie we're always very respectful to me and made me feel like family. Working for them did not feel like employment. It was a relationship. I love them both! Rest in peace, Mr. Randy, and tell Jesus hello for me
Randy, Mike Byrd and I spent most of our elementary grade years in the same neighborhood on the East side of Daingerfield. We played football on the vacant lot nearby and climbed trees in front of Randy’s home, watching the cars and trucks pass below us on the old Hughes Springs highway. We had fun building pine tree needle forts nearby and racing our bicycles. Randy’s Mom was our Cub Scout leader who introduced me to delicious fried bananas.
Randy’s dad owned the local Ford dealership and I remember getting to ride shotgun in Randy’s brand new Mustang. What a treat!
The last time Randy and I had lunch together was at Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen in Grapevine. We had a great visit. That was several year’s ago.
There are many more cherished memories, too many to share here. Those memories really do seem like yesterday….time passes so quickly.
Although I will not be able to attend the services this Saturday….we’re now living in Post Falls, Idaho…I will be there in spirit. Randy was a dear friend (brother), a good trustworthy man, and I will miss him greatly.
