I worked with Randy back in the late 70’s and 80’s on the Seattle Nantes Sister City Committee Association. I was a new French teacher in the Shoreline School District and was totally intrigued with the idea of establishing a sister city relationship with a French city. We held regular meetings at the home of a now deceased UW French professor and his wife —Howard and Frances Nostrand in Lake Forest Park and Randy was at each meeting — often eating a sandwich for dinner after a full day working for the city. He was pretty amazing because he was one of the key people in establishing that. I would talk to him about his enthusiam about France and it turned out he had received the same type of scholarshipI had received to study in France — The what was then called the Rotary Foundation Award. I remember talking about some funny experiences he had there that were identical to my own. he had been at a Rotary dinner and when asked if he wanted more food, he had said, “Non merci, je suis plein.” which would, in English mean, “I’m full. In French it translates to I am pregnant. Every student in French makes the same mistake because I did the same thing when I was first over there and I got a lot of interesting smirks. I remember sharing that story with him.

Randy - I am glad I got got the chance to meet you back then.  You will be missed. Au revoir!

Randy drafted me onto the Stewardship Committee at St. Mark's Cathedral in 2009 after some administrative upheavals at the church had revealed my proclivity for "speaking my mind." For me, working on this team under his leadership was like being an observer of a GREAT PERSON with AMAZING leadership skills. What Randy saw in me to make the association a mutual friendship as well as working arrangement, I will never really know, but as we got to know each other, I admired him and was so grateful to become his and Ann's friend. During one stewardship meeting, after reading an appeal letter I had drafted to get pledging up, Randy nicknamed me "SNARKEY" and the name stuck. I've been Snarkey to him ever since. We forged a deep friendship that lasted to his crossing into heaven. Like another friend said, Heaven is probably better organized now he's there.  Blessings to Ann, Robin, Lisa and family, with love. -- Snarkey Ramee

It was a true honor and privilege to have been Randy's aid and security officer for two years.  I didn't always agree with his politics but I have never known a more honest and sincere person in my life.  Randy  was my boss but more importantly he was my friend.  He trusted me and I trusted him.  My most sincere condolences to his family and friends.   Rest in peace Randy we all lost one of the truly good public servants and one truly good man.
