Dear Wilma, Sandy, Jay, and all of Randy's family, I was heartbroken to see Randy's name in the paper, and as you know we were good friends in school and church. We had lost touch in the last years, but he is always in my heart. I'm so sorry for this devastating loss. Randy was always a very sweet and caring person.
Dear Wilma, Charlotte, Jay, Sandy and family, I am so sad and sorry to hear of Randys passing. I remember all the good times we had together going to church, vacationing together at Table Rock, Branson and then at Lake Ouachita in Arkansas. I never will forget Jess and the Air Conditioner at Denby Point the first time we went to Ouachita. I can just see Randy, Jess and Pat up in Heaven talking about all the good times we had together. I am sorry that I cannot be there. You are in our prayers. Always, Tom & Gayle Hampton
You have my sympathy in the loss of Randy. He was a great person. I know what it is like to loose a brother and my heart goes out to you all.. And to loose a parent early in life is unreal.. God Bless Randy's family. May his angel be with every one of his family….
My deepest sympathy to the Pinkley family. Randy was such a wonderful, kind and sincere person. I still see in my mind the first time I met him when Mr. McClard had me hand out sheet music in band practice on my first day of high school and the big smile on his face. I have the fondest memories of time I spent with the Pinkley family during high school. Water ski trips to Mine La Motte, church activities and vacations. I am so certain he has made a wonderful husband, father and servant to God. My prayers are with you all at a very difficult time.
I was fortunate enough to be in the same class with Randy. God must have needed an all around good guy. Randy never had anything but good for other people. All of my memories of Randy are him with a big smile. May God be with his entire family and give you piece at this time. I'm sure he and Jesse are together having a great time again.
My heart goes out to the family of Randy. I didn't know Randy very well but his brother Jay is a very good and special friend. To Randy's family and Jay's family you are in my thoughts and prayers during this time and the days to come.
I am so very sorry to hear of Randy's passing. My heart, thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. I can picture Randy's face as he was always smiling, upbeat and so friendly to everyone at school. He truly was interested in everyone. He also truly loved his family and was very proud of each one of you. He will be missed!
To the family of Randy – I was saddened to hear of Randy's passing. Hold on to faith and know this is only a temporary separation from him. I pray God ease your pain during this difficult time and give you comfort in the days ahead. Our prayers are with you all.
Beverly and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I know that words cannot bring comfort for the pain and sorrow you feel at this time. I taught at Lone Jack when Randy first started working there. He certainly was a nice person, and we had many good visits when he cleaned my room after school. I saw him a couple of months ago at LJ retired teacher luncheon. He still had his friendly smile that I remember so well. You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this time. May God bless and comfort you.
Bev, Nicole, Grant, and Brett: We are so sorry to hear of Randy's passing, and our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God lift you up during your time of grief.

Randy was a truly good kid who had a great smile especially when he was bothering his older sister. Randy was like the younger brother that I didn't have growing up and I have many fond memories of his skiing. I understand that he became a great man and will be missed by many. What a beautiful life. God must have needed him to call him home so early in life. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

So very sorry to hear the news of Randy's passing. My heart goes out to all the family. My prayers will be with you today and during the next weeks ahead. I wish I could come and put my arms around the whole family but must only send my love to you through this guest book. Randy was a wonderful guy and he will be deeply missed. When I heard the news all I could think about was the times I spent at the Pinkley house with Sandy and hanging out with the boys watching them ski at the Slim pond. Love you all, Lisa (Alexander)Garven

Dear Pinkley Family- I am so sorry… Randy was the nicest man! He always cared so much- when he had to shovel the school parking lot he always shoveled a path to my car so I wouldn't get stuck! I am going to miss him and his smiling face and daily friendly wave! Please let us know how we can help.
Beverly, I loved the pictures on the video, they were beautiful. I really liked the wedding pictures, liked your curly hair and all the hair Randy had, enjoyed seeing Randy growing up and his hair, we don't think of how a person used to look until we look at pictures. Enjoy all the pictures, as I looked at them again this morning, as I have looked at them over and over I can't believe its happened, my pain goes out for you, I pray for all of you, I LOVE you, Your family has always been special to me. I think Grant was 5 Months old when I started working in the Nursery. Please call if you need help. Come and see me or I can come to you. Love Zelpha
Bev and Kids, you are in many thoughts and prayers over the loss of your loved one. I thank you for sharing the video of photos throughout the years. I finally got to see Randy's Monte Carlo he was so proud of. When I bought mine, he told me all about his as he checked mine out 🙂 It's memories like these and the Grace of God that get us through times like this.
My thoughts are with you all in this time of pain. If there is anything I can do, please don't hesitate to ask.

We are so sorry for your loss. I never saw Randy without a smile on his face. Trust that Randy is now with our Lord and still smiling down at all of us.
My sincere condolences, thoughts, and prayers to the entire family. The last time Randy and I crossed paths was at First Baptist in Farmington. We both happened to be in town visiting family at the same time. It seemed the only difference that occured over the years was Jay was bigger than either of us! I know we are not privy to God's plan and there are many questions. The comfort I take is the blessing in my life of having known Randy and his family both as friends and members of the church family.
Dear Pinkley Family, We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Randy always had a smile and a wave when we saw him outside. Please do not hesitate to ask if you need any help.

Our prayers and support will continue standing with you as you walk day by day and hour by hour. We are only a phone call away. May your memories grow brighter and God's love and blessings sustain you as you continue living and sharing the time you have been given on this earth, until you see your loved one again.
We are sorry to hear about Randy. If there is anything we can do for you please let us know. The Ludwig's

Dear Pinkley family; What an incredible shock to us when we heard the news of Randy's passing. Tyler sends his sympathies from West Point as well. You almost cannot believe what has happened is real.

We pray for the Lord's immeasurable peace for you in the days ahead.
