• I was shocked and very sorry to hear of Randy's passing, my sincere condolences to the family especially Hazel. He was one of the most kind, friendly person you could possible meet. He always had a smile and a hello for you. - Posted by: Joy Tandberg (Ex-coworker) on: May 13, 2021

• Going to miss the old dog. This took me by shock reading the obits. I had just seen him at the Wellness Centre pre Covid and he looked fine to me. Worked with Randall (that's how I called him) at the CRA both at the WTC and audit at the downtown district office. We had many many laughs and very many drinks together. Remember the times way back when we would go to Bemidji, MN for the annual Hands Across the Border Golf Tournament with the Americans from the Minnesota IRS Department. One great guy is gone. My condolences to Hazel and the family. - Posted by: Walter Mazepa (Friend and co worker) on: Nov 21, 2020

• I will forever remember Uncle Randy's smile. I have memories of camping with him and his family and BBQs at their family home. One spring/summer I worked at the tax centre and was able to hitch a ride with him - it was nice spending time with him. He was my dad's best friend, and though not blood, he was my uncle - he will be greatly missed. Sending love and strength to Auntie Hazel, Lindsay and Mitch. xo - Posted by: Natalie Thompson (Peter's daughter) on: Nov 15, 2020

• I had the pleasure of working out at the old "super spa" with Randy, one of the most pleasant nice guys I've known, haven't seen Randy in awhile but when moving back to Winnipeg I found a momento that Randy and Brent were a part of 1981, it brought back some laughter and memories.

• I grew up with my friend Randy playing football in the fall and spongee in the winter time on our Johnson avenue back lane. We also played hockey and lacrosse together out of Kelvin CC and later, with the Winnipeg Wreckers. Randy was a very good athlete in his younger years and had the hardest wrist shot l have ever seen. I believe he got his superior wrist strength from his work at Pete’s fur business, where he worked weekends while growing up. As nice a guy as Randy was he was equally brilliant. In grade 11 l had a “D” going into the final math exam that was worth 55% of the final mark. Randy offered to tutor me for the final. He spent two evenings at my kitchen table and l learned more in those two nights about math than l had learned in the eleven years in school. With Randy’s tutoring help l managed o get the highest mark in that final exam and my mark rose to a solid B+. A better friend, husband or father you could not find. Randy was a true gentleman and l will dearly miss my good friend. - Posted by: Brent Paul (Friend) on: Nov 14, 2020

• Randy was one of the group of many Elmwood alumni that have stayed in contact from back in the school days. Played lacrosse with all the guys and never missed a lacrosse alumni reunion at the LaSalle Hotel and then the Elmwood Legion. Our family and the Scharniks were good friends going back to the Kelvin CC days and you never lose the great Elmwood connection we all have. Thoughts and prayers to Hazel and all the family. All our Love, Keith , Sandy, Derek, Trent & all the McLennans. - Posted by: Keith McLennan (Friend) on: Nov 14, 2020
