    In the song 0:49

    Building our family with God by your side

    When my body needed help, you stepped up and worked hard

    Took an early retirement to see us both through

    And out on the lanes, you were rolling a strike

    A two-hundred average we all tried to be like

  6. His legacyhis princess is our granddaughter 15 years old… They called him Papa Uber. They had a hat and a shirt made for him… Our grandson is 7. Him and Papa were buddies… He thought Papa was sleeping.
    In the song 2:55

    To your fifteen-year princess, you were Papa Uber driving

    Wearing that special made shirt, always smiling

    To your seven-year buddy, you were his favorite friend

    He thinks you're just sleeping, he needs to talk once again

  7. Her message to himI wish I had a little more time with you. You had suffered so much. I would never bring you back here… Glorious day that will be!!
    In the song 1:24

    I wouldn't bring you back to the pain of the past

    I wish I had just a little more time

    But you suffered so much, and your spirit is free

    Oh, what a glorious day that will be

IIIRandy’s story

Randy and his wife were high school sweethearts and best friends for three years before they married. They were married 46 years, and best friends for 49.

He put God first. He had a great sense of humor and loved jumping out from behind things to scare his family. He worked construction for 42 years as a backhoe operator, and he loved woodworking, mostly making things for the yard.

“He was so good to me. He spoiled me.” He took an early retirement to help her, and for the last three years he was the primary cook and cleaner.

He gave their two kids a very good example, values and respect. The family bowled together, and Randy and the kids all had averages over 200.

“Randy loved his family so much. We love and miss him.”

What she wrote about him

His granddaughter, 15, was his princess. He picked her and her friends up from school, and they called him Papa Uber and had a hat and a shirt made for him.

His grandson, 7, was his buddy, and they played together a lot. The boy kept saying he needed to talk to Papa. He thought Papa was sleeping.

“You are my one and only and you will be forever. One of these days we are going to meet in heaven.”

What she wrote to him

She asked for an uplifting song to celebrate him. Their motto was, and still is, “Always and forever.”
