My son James was a good friend with Josh and spent a lot of time at Randy and Debbie's.  They became a second family for James for which I am so grateful. Joe and I didn't socialize much but the Taft's always welcomed us into their home with open arms. They were good, warm and wonderful folks. I am so sad I never had the chance to thank them face to face but I know they are together again in God's warm embrace and that makes me smile...Bridget and Joe Novak

Randy,whom I loved very much, now I have the memories of you, you are free now to spend eternity with sis...

I remember the time you raced dad on the beach in Freeport and broke your wrist because you tried to cut dad off and you got twisted up. I remember the time you showed me how to set a hook on my first fish or took me hunting in the cold weather and I caught my boots on fire and you nicknamed me “hotfoot”. I remember every time I called you you would answer with “hello son” or “hello bubba”. I can go on and on forever about memories with you Pawpaw. These are just a few of millions that will never go away. I love you old man. You’re gone and will never be forgotten. “If I could only fly”. Love your grandson Brandon. (Bubba)

The normal crew, we had to be around 14 or so years old, and we decided to play a pick up game of football. Mr Taff decided to step up and play a couple downs with us. I am not a very good quarter back, but decided to give it a try anyway. I threw a pass to Mr Taff but I led him straight into a heavy duty soccer goal. He hit that damn thing so hard it left a huge gash on his forehead. The old man being tough as nails refused to quit, wiped off the blood off with his hands, cleaned it off on his wranglers, and continued to play.  He was a second father to all of us.

Randy will be missed by so many. We enjoyed spending time on the patio with him visiting and sharing stories. Prayers and hugs to Josh, Stacy, Kelley, Nathan and other family members. Rejoice that he and Debra are now reunited. Love y'all Dad and Mom/Papa and Grandma Talley.
