    It’s with a heavy heart learning of Randel’s passing. Every time I ran into him he always made an effort to say hello in a crowd and have a chat. That in Its self set him apart, with an outgoing personality. I can say he will be missed by Thelma and I. Also our thoughts and prayers are with Scott and all the family.

    We are so very sad to learn of Randell’s passing last night. I said to Jeremy that I will NEVER forget the time we dressed as Mummers and went into the fire hall to the party and I took Randell out for a scuff. Or, the many scuff’s on the dance floor at many other events down d’arm over the years. His character, charm, sense of humour and quirky smile were one of the many things that made him the wonderful man he was. Please reach out if there is anything at all Jeremy and I can do during this sad time. Think of all those wonderful memories and that will help you through. Xoxo.

    Scott and family; my sincerest condolences on the passing of Randell.
    No matter how much time passed between when I saw him last, be it ten years or 1 day, it was always the same comment; are you hitch-hiking home tonight?! This was because during my teenage years when I was ‘down the arm’ trying to get home, many nights around midnight, he never once passed me (on his way home) without turning around and bringing me back to Hodge’s Cove.
    A very kind man that will be missed by many.
    Find strength in the many laughs you will share in his memory. All we have in the end is memories for our family and friends, and his will continue to do what he loved to do; bring smiles and laughs.

    Randell lead by example, especially during times of crisis. His leadership and selfless acts during hurricane Igor were known throughout the Province. He earned the respect of the entire extended SWA and surrounding areas communities for being ‘there’ whenever needed. He was kind and thoughtful, the kind of man you would love to have as your neighbour. The whole ‘Arm’ will miss him. Sending heartfelt sympathy to Sylvia, Scott, and family, as well as his large circle of friends.

    So sorry to hear about Randall’s passing. He was a very special person who has helped and been there for many people while here on earth. If you needed anything he was there. Take comfort in knowing his job is not done for he is not here on earth just gone home to be with those that have gone before him. Now an angel in heaven still watching over us and protecting us. Waiting to meet us all once again.
