The world was a better place with Randy Bland in it.He was not only my employee and coworker but my friend.No one loved and adored his children like Randy. He lived his life as a father should both praising their accomplishments on and off the field as well as disciplining them when necessary. Feasts at Benton Redi Mix and them Martin Marietta were filled with his laughter and humorous stories. Even though he will be missed, we are assured he is in heaven. Good bye ole friend until we meet again and God bless all this great man's family.

He spoke with pride on many occasions to me about their accomplishments on the field and off. Feasts at Benton Redi-Mix and then Martin Marietta were filled with his laughter and humorous stories.Even though he will be sorely missed , we are assured that he is in heaven. Good bye ole friend until we meet again. God bless all this great man's family.

A great loss and very sad day for me. Having worked very close with Randy during his last twelve years with MMM. I got to understand how important his children were to him.
He was one of the top few people I admired most. I could only try to be as caring a Father.
I missed him when he had to retire and more now.
