I'm going to miss Randy so much. He was my neighbor and dear friend for 2 years here in Cambodia. His sobriety was a big influence on our group of friends living at the condo (we are in the late 20s-early 30s) We would drink and smoke cigarettes and he would not judge us. However his ability to abstain from drinking while being surrounded with others who were drinking, really was inspiring to us. He would also give us advice on health, relationships, etc.
He was also my intermittent fasting buddy. We would both do IF together and keep each other in check. Even during covid, we would be in contact about keeping that covid quarantine weight off.
Randy had the greatest recipes too. Before moving to Cambodia, I have never used a pressure cooker. The whole concept was foreign to me. Well, for my 30th birthday, Randy gifted me a pressure cooker and would often give me recipes. I still have that pressure cooker and I will never get rid of it.
A few years ago, my wife was graduating university. Randy and I went together (along with my son) I didn't think to much about the event, I was more focused on watching my son who was very young at the time. I did not even think about getting my wife a graduation gift. Randy pulled $25 out of his pocket and was like "Hey buddy, go by your wife something, it's a special day for her"
I really hate speaking about him in the past tense, but he was the most wholesome human being in all of Cambodia. His passing really weighs heavily on me and I sincerely give my condolences to all of Randy's surviving children, grandchildren, family, and friends. Rest in peace you amazing human being.
