Denny. Deb. My heart goes out to you both. So many of us from “the nut” have fond memories of being young and stupid with Randy. He was a good man and friend.

I am truly saddened to hear of Randy´s passing. I have many wonderful memories of Ski Patrol at Chestnut and gatherings in the patrol room. My sincere condolences to Deb and the entire Struck family. Fair winds to you old friend… Thanks for the memories…
No words to describe the love for Randy and his lifelong friendship. We will miss his smile, his laugh, his willingness to always be there for you, but the memories will live in our hearts and minds forever. Chestnut, boating and vacation stories will be told over cocktails more than one time! Rest in peace my friend and don’t get into too much trouble with Steve.
My deepest condolences to the Struck Family on Randy’s loss. He was a good friend and work partner. I will always have the fondest memories of our time together.
So sorry to hear of your loss, Denny.
Enjoyed the entire group of Struck boys from softball in the day. Was shocked to learn of Randy’s death. We all had a lot of fun in the Longhorn, after games, what a great bunch of guys. Good memories. Thanks to all, RIP Randy, and condolences to all the family and friends.
