Our deepest sympathy to you all. We so enjoyed working with Randy at Ray Bethers Trucking. We always shared alot of laughs. He was a pretty special guy. He is having a great reunion, laughing and telling stories, with the all of the "ROWDY BUNCH" gang that has gone before him. Bless you all. Nolan and Paulette Snapp

Sorry to hear of Randy's passing. Up through my teenage years he was one of my favorite cousins. My mom (Carol Porter Lyman) would bring me up to Salt Lake quite often to see Aunt Wilma and the Barr family. Randy was a little older than I and I'm sure he thought of me as a pest whenever we showed up, but to me the area where the Barr family of Salt Lake lived was a Wonderland. Randy was Peter Pan and he lead us on many fun adventures. After Aunt Wilma and my Mom had passed on, I lost complete contact with the Barr Clan, but have thought about them often. We love you all even though we don't know you well. Our hearts go out to you at this difficult time. Norman Lyman & Margie Lyman
