    Giertz family I am so sorry for your loss I have sooooo many great memories of Randy while growing up. He use to babysit for Kim and I would spend the night and he always made us watch scary movies! Playing hide and seek in the warehouse was always fun and recording ourselves to send to him while he was in the service was a weekly occurrence. You are with star now playing fetch again and reunited with your parents Rest In Peace you will be missed!
