I worked with Randy in 2005 while I was working for Walt Disney World Photo Imaging. He was brought in from Carnegie Melon to help us market our new department. I helped him with focus groups, analyzing data, and other marketing materials and I feel honored to have had the privilege.

He was a kind, funny, and oh so intelligent man. He never told any of us that he was sick. I was so sad to hear of his passing last week, my thoughts and prayers are with his family. The world lost a great person, that’s for sure.
