Jane, As I struggle to write this message, recollections of those moments that we shared trigger comfort in the face of tragic loss. Through a flash of memories, I yet again appreciate how privileged it was for me to have known Randy, and to have shared an enduring friendship. When my son Luke was born, Randy was the first visitor to the hospital, and he enthusiastically followed Lukes growth and development through every opportunity. I could in no way envision a better role model for my son. During those sixteen years, I frequently found myself thanking God for that Guardian Angel he had provided for my child. Those prayers of thanksgiving will continue, as that Angel perseveres. As a man, he set the criterion. As a coach, he embraced the educator. And as a friend, he was forever true. Randys character merged integrity, principle, and loyalty without lapse and that exceptional moral fiber personified the man, the coach and the friend. With profound appreciation of my dear friend, Randy Curl, I commemorate the person that we all treasured while mourning his passing. Jane, my eyes well with tears as I share these thoughts that I know can not heal your heart. My feelings of remorse are small and inconsequential to the loss and sorrow in your life. I can only trust that through this meager lexis I am able to convey the value of friendship and offer my heartfelt condolences to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us. Forever your friend, Glen Hinkebein
