    I remember when. I first got interested in playing basketball picking up the paper on Saturday morning and reading about the Golden Bear. Seems like yesterday.

    So so sorry to learn of Randy’s passing. Rest in peace my friend. During my twenty plus years working at Fairgrounds Elevator all of the Golden Family were among my favorite producers! After my retirement my only occasion to see Randy resulted in a HUG! That says it all about how we felt towards one another. Please know that my prayers are with all of you always.

    Dear Melanie and family,
    I had the pleasure of first meeting Randy while walking along the Ft Myers Beach with Devon Polly. There he was, standing in the surf, fishing for dinner, I presume. He was friendly, funny…and I took a great picture of him, which I’ll show you some day. I was lucky enough to meet you, Melanie, and be invited into your Florida home. I was sad to hear of Randy’s health struggles and even sadder to hear he won’t be fishing or mowing anymore. Take good care of yourselves and keep the memories alive.
