IIHer words, in his song
What she wrote about Randy, word for word, and the lines it became.
-
Who he was
He was my heart, my soulmate. 46 years married, 49 years best friends.
In the song 0:13Forty-nine years of being my best friend
Forty-six years of a marriage so true
My heart and my soulmate, my whole life was you
-
What she misses
His laugh, his onery eyes… We were highschool sweethearts.
In the song 0:20High school sweethearts, a love without end
Oh, I'm gonna miss those ornery eyes
-
A memory
He loved jumping out from behind things to scare us… He worked construction for 42 years. He was a backhoe operator.
In the song 0:42Forty-two years running backhoes with pride
The way you'd jump out for a laughing surprise
-
A memory
He loved woodworking… He mostly made yard things… He was the primary cook and cleaner the last 3 years… Our motto was/is Always and forever.
In the song 1:34You and me, Randy, always and forever
You were magic with wood, making things for the yard
Cooking and cleaning, there's nothing you wouldn't do
-
His legacy
He put God 1st… He took an early retirement to help me. I am disabled… He loved bowling… They all three are over 200.
In the song 0:49Building 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
-
His legacy
his 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 2:55To 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
-
Her message to him
I 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 1:24I 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
About 3 minutes of gentle questions about them, in your own words.
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 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.

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.
