Randy Chafe was my second father. A true inspiration and mentor for being the better man. Respect and love are two small words that don’t come close to capturing how I felt about this man. He left us far to early. I miss him dearly.
Marie and Nicole; all of you represented how a family should be..

Marie and Nicole,
your husband and father (and my uncle) was a man I remember as always having a friendly smile, a quick laugh and a larger truck! How much did all the cousins love climbing up into one of his Broncos just for a drive or possibly to plow a driveway at home or at your house. The sound of Randy’s plow against the driveway at our house was music to our ears and meant more free time (and less shoveling)! I’m not sure we ever thanked him for that generosity and so much other help and consideration over the years. They were all appreciated beyond words. Blessed with so many great uncles he was amongst all our favourite.
Our family in Texas remember Randy with love and fondness. Our deepest sympathies to you both.
So sorry for your loss condolences to Marie and family

Marie & Nicole,

He was such a wonderful , kind, caring man. Your wonderful memories will always hold him close to you.
To Marie, Nicole, Bertha (Ralph), Norma (Bernard), Lorraine (Clyde) and Barbara, we are so saddened to hear of Randy’s passing. It has been years for me seeing or speaking with Randy however have many fond Memories of our younger Years and knew him to be one heck of a guy and I can’t imagine that has/did change over the years.
For me where I have been out of town for the past 30+ years I depended on my Mom and now my Dad, who were closer to all of you, to keep me updated on our extended Family or our Cousin Karen.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers and I/we hope that the many fond memories and the love of your Family and Friends help you all through this most difficult of times.
So sorry to hear of your dads passing Nicole.
Nicole and Marie, I’m so sorry for your loss. I remember Randy well from all the time I spent at your house growing up, and I actually teared up just now. reading the obituary. I remember him as a welcoming man who was always smiling and making us laugh.
I can’t imagine what you both must be feeling, and both of you are in m,y thoughts.
