RANDY, so many cherished memories. The highs, the lows, we could always count on the other when we needed help. You will always live on in my heart. May you rest in peace my brother. I'll see you when I reach the other side. I'll bring the beer.

I've known Randy for several years, and was saddened to hear of his passing. We worked together briefly at the Port Arthur Police Department. He was a great guy, and he will be missed. Keeping his family in thoughts and prayers. RIP, Randy. Godspeed!

My husband, Richard, and I worked with Randy years ago (1981) at the Texaco refinery. He was a great guy and a hard worker. So sorry he's passed away. His parents were good friends of my late aunt and uncle, Johnnie and Roland Akin. God Bless and keep Randy and his family and loved ones in His hands always

Thoughts and prayers to the family. RIP Randy. Seems like yesterday, we were all young living in Port Acres. Back then, it was great. Everybody was close friends. Safe. Those were the good years. Hugs to the Tomplait family...Kelli Klima

Too many years, too many memories. The R.T. Combo was our first band in the mid sixties. My heart aches and breaks thinking about growing up with Randy as a classmate, best friend, and neighbor. I will miss him dearly. My prayers go out to all of the family. Dickie Peltier
