Condolences for John Randall Waier

I have hundreds of memories of Randy. He was the first person I meet my first day of college in 1968. I heard him talking in the dormitory room across the hall (bragging) of his exploits the previous evening at a bar called the "Cove". I thought to myself that's where I want to go tonight. When Randy, Dale Rusch and Bruce Whitehead left for the Cove that evening I followed them about a half a block behind. I entered the bar and went down the steps to find Randy waiting for me. He yelled at me " are you following us"? I replied I was because I didn't know where the bar was. He asked "Do you like to drink beer which I replied that I did". He said O.K. you can sit with us. We bonded that night and became great friends for the rest of his life. I could post hundreds of these but that was the first!
