dzdiva 7 #2 April 28, 2020 (edited) This was my first AFF jump, 2002!(Randy on the left) We had a few jumps during my training and he did my AFF solo clearance dive. That was a good one! His enthusiasm for the sport was contagious! Fly free Randy! Edited April 28, 2020 by dzdiva 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Randy was one of those guys you wanted to spend more time with other than the DZ. His zest for life, his fun-loving nature. We lost a great ambassador for the sport. My respect & condolences to family & close friends. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
michaelmullins 81 #4 May 1, 2020 Randy was on the USPA BOD at the same time I was. He was a true gentleman, friend and always had the best interests of skydivers at heart. He will be missed. Mike Mullins Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mgm7701 2 #5 May 7, 2020 Wow, what a sad loss. I was a Tandem I at Skydive AZ in the 90s Randy was a camera flyer and he gave me great instruction on achieving my AFF ticket and what to expect from the Certification course which I passed on my first try. Best wishes to his family. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
