I worked with Randy on two different fronts.  He worked for years as a Barry County Central Dispatch telecommunicator.  I worked with the dispatch center on its Administrative Board.  I also worked with Randy as a fellow police officer while he worked as both a patrol officer and as the Woodland Twp. Police Department's Chief.  Randy was well known for his "shall we say witty" since of humor.  Often times Randy was known for speaking his mind- regardless of what others thought of his opinion.  We call that being brutally honest.  Randy was also a sincere and feeling individual.  For the big man that he was I observed Randy as his eyes teared up on several occasions while coping with his choosen vocation and the stress that it often brings. I'll remember Randy for the sense of humor that was a big as he was....and that's no small thing.  Thanks for the memories Randy.  Jerry Sarver, Retired Hastings Police Chief.
