Is he okay? Does anyone have current contact info?

Randy was so active on here, that it seems strange he'd vanish.  I remember he'd posted that once he was retired, he wasn't going to be on here as much. Well, that's certainly true.

We all miss ya, Randy! You always have a ton of interesting old-time stories & insight.

Yes Randy is doing his own stuff. Just before he pulled the plug I offered to hire him for a couple jobs but he was adamant that he'd only be working on his own stuff.
I also think Randy does not have a home computer he is not into tech stuff at all.

So, would anyone be able to please help me out and get a note to Randy? 

TA Coupe

You have a Smartphone or computer so use it to find his address and send him a note. It is not very hard to do. It took me a few minutes.

If it starts it's streetable.
Overkill is just enough.

OldMil

Yeah Roy, thanks.  If you read my previous post, you will see that I did all of that.  I would not be asking if I hadn't.  Just looking for some help from a member that may be in contact.  Jack

TA Coupe

Did you actually send a letter to Randy's house?

OldMil

Yes, Roy, I did.  Asked him to contact me and gave him my cell, business phone, email, and physical address.  No reply after a month.  I am trying to give him every benefit of the doubt on this transaction.  Jack

I miss Randall

Had a few candid conversations with him / email exchanges, a true no holding back, no hiding behind smokes and mirrors guy.

As I mentioned previously on my reply on March 15, truly going to miss him.

Our sincerest condolences to all  his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

R.I.P. He gave me some good advice and great stories.

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

A friend of mine got a text  while he was at my house earlier today telling him Randy had passed. So sad.  Always willing to help. RIP Randy  :( :( :(.
