I cried at this tribute. What a full and committed life. His family was wonderful.

I had a student like your Uncle Randy. He was brilliant. He passed away in his early 50s.

I'm so sorry to hear that. My sincere condolences, Erin. To you and your family, especially, but even to humanity more broadly, because frankly, he sounds like a really wonderful, generous person who left joy in his wake. The world needs more such men, and we should all mourn the good ones.

Rest in peace, Uncle Randy. Thank you for your so-bad-they're-good jokes. I can only imagine you're one of the influences behind Erin's delightful wit, and I have no doubt she will proudly bear that torch for you. <3
