I have been reading with sadness all the testimonies regarding our friend R=
andall, wondering whatever is it I could say that the eloquence of others h=
as not already touched. I have nothing.
But I am struck by this thought. We are all of us given one life, with no =
second chances to get it right. If we were the last man alive, our respons=
ibility might be simply self-indulgent anarchy. But most of us choose to be=
a member of a community, and that comes with it an ominous, at times terri=
fying, responsibility. Randall chose to accept that responsibility, steadf=
astly committed as a loyal friend, a loyal husband, a loyal member to his f=
amily, a loyal American, and, as I recall, one concerned about the broader =
issues of the world we live in. I don't think I exaggerate when I deem tha=
t he was the enshrinement of what it meant to be the leader and spokesman f=
or his community. When he spoke, people listened, and were better for it. =
You knew he cared, not just about the technical problem in front of him, b=
ut about you, the person presenting that problem. If it's possible to leav=
e life without regret, I only hope I can be half so successful as I gauge h=
im to be.
We have seen an outpouring of grief and loss by his friends here. I am cer=
tain we are but a small part of the loss those closer to him feel. I join y=
ou all in wishing his family well. =20
