| He has departed, my brother: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1433100
Changed his name to Rand after some years in Sweden, but was ever Randy to me.
By either name, anyone would count themselves as lucky to have been a part of
his life.
A good man, good father and a good brother. Loved ones left behind are Karin
his wonderful wife, and three great kids; Jacob, Julia and Jesper. The pic was
taken 4 months ago.
A heartfelt appreciation to those here that cared about him, expressed or not.
I have my cherished memories, and look forward to hopefully catching up with
him when my time comes
|
After helping his dad build a jacuzzi in his dad's beloved garden, they inaugurated
it their last project together, Randy and his youngest, Jacob. Btw, Jacob's
holding a game they played while enjoying the jacuzzi that day. They loved games,
my brother and his kids. Pic was taken 10 months before Randy's passing.
The second pic is of Randy and Jacob as a wee-one, taken at my brother's
favorite place on earth (after his garden) Morro Bay, CA. His ashes will be scattered
next month in two places: his garden and Morro Bay.
Didn't know this of my brother, that Morro Bay where he and I have had some
good times as young men, was so closely held to heart. Just leaned it. Even more
impactful, considering my brother and his youngest were avid travelers of the
world. Don't know of many places they haven't experienced. It's completely
understandable that his garden is a favorite, but learning that Morro Bay was
also, is hard hitting in a bitter sweet way.

| I'm a fan of Heinlein, have MANY of his books, and I know how to read his
words at 2nd or 3rd level.

Off-topic, but anyone who enjoys Heinlein should also read The Mote in God's
Eye by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, about which Heinlein said, "Possibly
the finest science fiction novel I have ever read."

Thank you to Dan Jezek for designing Bricklink all those decades ago!
Thank you Bricklink for without this marketplace I would not have had a viable
business model that has worked for 20 years.
Thank you to the countless stores across the world that have provided me with
excellent service!
Thank you to the Community (both in chat & forum) for all the questions answered,
the laughs, the Pizza & Mustard wars, the long debates, the catalog adds & changes,

Welcome to the club.
Have you lived in F-burg the whole 20 years? I live in Louisa County, seems weird
we have never met.
Are you the one outbidding me on Rappahannock Goodwill?
I'm trying to get more used LEGO homie.
