This is very sad news indeed. Randy was a solid participant of the 
Purdue discussion list. He was always keen to participate and share his 
knowledge. The ISAC family will surely miss Randy very much.

Condolences to Randy's family and co-workers from Purdue and the entire 
ISAC Family.

Best wishes

J. Paul Robinson
President, ISAC
