Condolences
Arlene and Family,
On behalf of the Board of Thompson Okanagan Advocis, please accept our deepest condolences. Randy’s contributions to our association were numerous.
As the emcee for our annual Christmas Charity Luncheon, his giving and compassionate spirit was evident as he brought humour, laughter and comraderie amongst our members. His passion for the Salvation Army helped to raise over a hundred thousand dollars for those in need. Randy will be greatly missed not only this year, but in years to come.
Thankyou to all for your thoughts and beautiful words for my dad, and family.Randy was and always will be a great man, in our hearts,prayers and in the community of kelowna.I love him so much, his son David.
Our love and blessings to you and your family Arlene. I so enjoyed Randy’s sense of humor. Call to go for coffee if you like.
My condolences to the Quigley Family. I have known Randy for 25 years and respected his contribution and effort to better our community.
All the best

Arlene and Family. Our sincerest condolence on your loss of Randy. Undoubtedly he will leave a big gap in your lives, but hopefully all the memories can help bridge that gap. I can see him now playing golf with Jim King, and wondering who it telling the bigger stories. He will be missed by many.

Arlene it was so nice meeting you and Randy earlier this year. It may have seemed to be a coincidence but we felt it was a divine appointment. You have been and will continue to be in our prayers>
Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts. Karen, Joseph & Vanessa.
Arlene & Family – it was deeply saddening to hear this. Randy was one of a kind…he had great wit, the best sense of humour, could make anyone laugh, and a real joy to be with. An incredible, engaging speaker. He always spoke so highly of you, his boys, and his mom, and was always helping everyone. He was extremely thoughtful, compassionate, and giving. He dedicated countless hours to Rotary, CAIFA/Advocis (putting on the schools), and charities – and will have a lasting impact on many people’s lives as a result. He had such an easy going manner about him, and just made everyone’s lives better by being in it. I’m terribly sorry for your family’s loss – of a wonderful man, husband, and father…and a terrific friend to me. He’s made lasting impression on me, and I will always miss him – as I’ve never met anyone quite like him.
“I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads his white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. He is an object of beauty and strength, and I stand and watch until at last he hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come down to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says, “There he goes!”
Gone where? Gone from my sight…that is all. He is just as large in mast and hull and spar as he was when she left my side and just as able to bear his load of living freight to the place of destination. His diminished size is in me, not in him. And just at the moment when someone at my side says, “There he goes!” there are other eyes watching him coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, “Here he comes!”

May God bless and comfort all of you…
We are so sorry to hear of Randy’s passing. Our Love and Sympathy to you – Arlene – and all your family at this sad time.
Randy was a good friend for many years and we will miss his smile, caring ways and humor.
I am deeply saddened by the news of Randy’s passing. My love and best wishes to you and the boys Arlene. He has touched many lives. Gone too soon, but his legacy will live on. Blessed to have known him!
Dearest Arlene; Chris and Gord and all the family;
I was so sad to hear of Randy’s death. My youngest brother’s name is “Randy” and I always thought of Randy as a brother.He and Albert were so drawn to each other; one reason among many, because of their marvellous sense of humour and their friendship through the Rotary Club for so many years.Happy memories. Randy made a difference.
May God be your comfort and strength in the days ahead.
Love and prayers,
Beryl Baldeo
Dear Gord and Chris, I was so sorry to see the notice in the paper about your Dad. He was always so friendly when I saw him at Three Links Manor when he and your Mom were visiting your grandmother. I’m thinking of you both and of your Mom and grandma, too.
Sincerely, Mrs. Hooper
Arlene and family my heart and all my love goes to you. Randy we will meet at the 19th hole RIP.

Dear Arlene and family our thoughts and prayers are with you,we will always remember Randy’s joy and his love of people, rest in peace.
I am very sorry to hear of Randy’s passing.Although we are cousins I only just met him, would have been nice to get to know him better.
So sorry to hear about my cousin Randy. I was lucky enough to meet him a couple of years ago. He was in my thoughts a lot. I will miss him.

Arlene and family
My condolences to you all at this difficult time. Like everyone else who has left a message I remember Randy as caring, thoughtful, smart and funny. This is very sad news. My memories go back to the days at Brenda Mines – seems a long time ago now. You are in my thoughts. G.
Dear Arlene, I am sorry to hear of Randy’s passing. My condolences to you and your family.
Arlene and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Randy. I have known Randy for 20 years and considered him my mentor in the Insurance and Investment business.
Going for coffee daily (sometimes twice) for 4 years were some of the best times I have had. The stories were endless and always with that beautiful dry humor that Randy mastered. He talked about his family with passion and deep love ( I know everything there is to know about Sears management and video games )
Probably the fondest memory I have of Randy is when my house was broken in to. I came home and the door was busted open and there was stuff thrown everywhere. It was devastating and the first person I called was Randy. ( We had just left each other from having coffee )
Of course he said he would come right over and did, With a bottle of Rye ( our drink of choice ). He came into the house, had a drink with me and calmed me down through that wit of his.
I am going to miss you my friend and thanks again for being there!!
Bob Berube
Arlene my heartfelt condolences to you and your family on Randy’s passing. I will miss his laughter and humour. Take care
Arlene & Family,
Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your husband and father. May you find strength to go on with your lives, with prayers and memories.
Arlene & Family,
Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your husband and father. May you find comfort through prayer and memories during this difficult time.
To the Quigley family……..I was shocked and saddened to hear of Randy’s passing! Although I had not been in touch for awhile, one cannot forget his great energy and sense of humour!! For the years that I faithfully attended local Advocis meetings, he always kept even the most boring sessions tolerable, with his great wit and near, stand – up comedian style humour, every chance he took the mic! He truly was a very enjoyable and likeable man. I wish that I would have seen him again, prior to hearing this news. My loss…..
I am sure he will be missed by many. The very best ahead to all of you. Kindest Regards, John
So sorry to hear of Randy’s passing. Our thoughts are with you Arlene and your family at this time. The love you shared will never die. It will live on in memory after beautiful memory, bringing you comfort, giving you peace.
Arlene & family
On behalf of my family, I send our deepest sympathy to you all. Randy was a wonderful man and will be missed by many. I pray that God wraps his loving arms around you all today.
God bless!

Arlene, Sandra and all of Randy’s family,
I was very saddened to hear of Randy’s death. I have many wonderful memories of Randy at my Grandparents (Bob and Dorothy Baptie) and at Auntie Mary’s. His laugh and sense of humor were a gift that he bestowed on many.
Thinking of you during this difficult time.
Susan
Thank you so much Susan. He will always be in our hearts and memories.
Dear Chris and Gord and family,
We are sorry to hear that you’ve lost your dad. We hope you’ll find strength in each other and in family and friends during this sad time. Thinking about you and sending positive thoughts and hugs,
Darlene Allmark
We are so sorry to hear about Randy. Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.
So sorry to hear that Randy is gone. I first met him as a child through my grandfather, Dick Edmondson. Years later he helped me select the most amazing life insurance policy – It was about 1990 – and I still carry it today. Everyone always tells me whatever you do keep this policy going – it’s a good one. Randy was a good one too and will be so missed. Love and Blessings to his family.
Sorry to hear of Randy’s passing.
