I am so sad to hear of the passing of Randy. During my years with Lummi he was a huge proponent of Head Start. My love and prayers to the Lummi community and prayers for his family as they help him on his journey.

I am so saddened to hear of our loss of Randy last week. I spent many hours with Randy and Alan Chapman and was always touched and inspired by their commitment to salmon and the Lummi people who depended on and cherished Nooksack salmon. Randy was a true warrior – forceful and committed but also warm and with a twinkle in his eye. He will be greatly missed. My heartfelt condolences to his family and community. Thank you for sharing him with me. Our world has been made better by his time with us and I will continue to work to make our world better based on what he taught me.

My deepest condolences to the family. I worked with Randy and have known him for over 30 years. Randy was one of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission’s strongest advocates for treaty rights and resource protection. He never backed down and was a fierce warrior for his tribe and the resource. He had a wonderful sense of humor, was task oriented, gracious in his praise, and was the north star, pointing out the direction the discussion–any discussion–should take. He will be missed.

Such a awesome man that will be missed. He was a great friend of my father and he was a great supporter of the children of our nation. His goals were to insure success for our children. He will be greatly missed. Love to family and friends

Randy’s unique ability to combine passion and humor were an inspiration. We will all miss him but we will try to carry both his passion and humor forward.
