I am thinking of you, Maryann and your family. Randy so warmly welcomed me as a new teacher to Lincoln Elementary and I was fortunate to have some of your children in my class. His laughter was contagious. He loved you and his children and would talk of you often. I recall how he loved his job and made Lincoln a 'family' environment. I truly enjoyed working with him. He will be missed. He touched so many lives and made people feel valued. His legacy will live on. You are in my thoughts, heart and prayers.

I just saw Randy's passing in the paper to late for me to attend the services. I went on a couple of CHWC mission trips with Randy and always enjoyed his humor and his company. I am sad for your loss and will pray for the repose of his soul and for peace and comfort for the family.

Randy was a great boss who made Jefferson a school where staff and students were made to feel important. The students who had him as a principal were very lucky to have such a kind and caring principal setting an example of patience and understanding. He will be missed by many.

I always had found memories of Mr. Culbertson (even when he had to correct me). Wether it was Jefferson Elementary, St. John's, or just around El Dorado. A Good man indeed.

Randy and Mary Ann were the first couple Davy and I met when we came to El Dorado. We were with Randy when their son John was born and have enjoyed watching their kids grow up as well as ours. He was so good to the teens for CYO and has not been paralleled since. Rest in peace friend. God bless you Mary Ann. Dr. Davy and Mary Gail Harkins.

Mr. Culbertson was my 3rd grade teacher. He taught our class how to make a quilt. He also taught us the value of giving to others. Mr. Culbertson was my favorite teacher, and thanks to his teachings, today I own my own quilt business. Where I give 25% of the profits to someone who is currently fighting cancer. Thank you Mr. Culbertson.

Mr. Culbertson one summer we were cleaning Jefferson school brought the crew a carrot cake he made. It was the best carrot cake I and the others ever had. He was always so much fun when he would show up. One of the best. May you rest in peace Mr. Culbertson you will be missed and condolences to that beautiful family of yours.

Randy was such a kind man. I so enjoyed his friendship at Butler, sharing work and recipes! He made my life just a little easier and I so admired his love for his family and the students he served.

Oh Mr. C!! I remember he always had a smile for everyone. Quite the jokester!!
We had an assembly one day at Jefferson & Randy was playing the tuba!! I was so impressed, until I realized, when he had to stop "playing" to take a breath that he was "air" tuba playing!
He will be missed!
