Dear Shannon, Sherri, Laura and Bruce and family,

Thinking of you all this day with fond memories of youthful days when faith and hope led the way into the future. Randy was one of those dear, easy-going, gentle people who dealt with the world and its troubles with humour and faith. Everybody loved Randy. The memories of those long ago days still make me smile. He was a light. May you all be comforted.

Shannon, Sherri, Laura, Bruce & families-

I was deeply touched to hear of Randy’s passing.

I admired his positive attitude and deep faith.

It was always a very enjoyable and uplifting conversation whenever we met. His genuine care for others was evident. I looked forward to those conversations, and will miss them.

As sad as it is to see his journey among us end, his attitude toward life is a lasting legacy for all of us.

I know he is welcomed with open arms in his new “home”.

All our love,

Rod Perks & family.

Dear Shannon, Becky, Katie, Chris and family

I am saddened to learn about Randy’s passing and please accept my deepest condolences to all of you. He was a wonderful Godly fun-loving man and I have many wonderful memories of times with all of you. Praying that God will comfort you and give you His peace during this difficult time. Big hugs to all, Jo-Ann

Sending the Hagel family our thoughts and prayers at this sad time.

I’m saddened to hear of Randy’s passing, yet so proud of the life he lived. I never heard him utter a negative comment or an unkind word to or about anyone. Well maybe when I babysat him, but that was my ignorance, not his.

The way he lived his life, especially after such a threatening diagnosis, was miraculous.

I feel so privileged to have had him give us such an enthusiastic tour of Big Island Retreat. What a paradise he has left for so many to enjoy! His creativity,enthusiasm, & eagerness to make others happy was so evident in all the fine details. Randy was truly an angel who walked among us on our journeys. It was an honour to call him “cuz”.

Much love, Jack & Diane

Dear family of Randy Hagel. I am so sorry for your loss. This news sadens me deeply and can’t compare to what you all are feeling right now. Randy was a joyful man who wasn’t afraid to share his love for God and I believe knew he was loved very much by God. He was also a great manager. He stood in faith when it was hard and had great testimonies to show for it.

Will be praying for you all.

Dear Shannon, Sherri, Laura, and Bruce and all of your families— sending you all our prayers and thoughts at this time of sadness. My entire family shares in your grief and send you all wishes for healing in this time of pain and loss!

Dear Shannon, Becky, Katie, Chris and family

We are so sad to hear this great loss, We pray for God to comfort and carry you…

Randy loved God, his faith in Christ was an inspiration. We were so blessed

by knowing Randy, a kind, dear man indeed.

God’s word says there are seasons, one a time of mourning, I wish it

were not so for you, We mourn with you at this time.

Prayers, love and peace to you all.

Paul and Freddie
