We went to school together in Dolores. He was a very nice guy. When I would see him around town he always took time to stop and talk. He gave me some paperwork that we did in 2nd grade a while back that was fun to look at. Rest in peace old friend

Randy was a friend of the family, and especially to Tony for several years. His neighbor and dear friend. I enjoyed his stories (he had a few). Mostly about his beloved family and fishing. He will be greatly missed! I hope there are fish in heaven .
Condolences to the family and friends he leaves behind.
From: Tony, Shawna and the entire Halls family, RIP Randy
