Dearest Family,
The shock of Randys death is finally abating, I guess you know by now how much Randy was loved and appreciated in the Santa Barbara community, especially the Yoga and Drum circle people.
I had the opportunity to spend time with him the Friday and Monday prior to his untimely demise, as he was again helping me with the patching and painting of my house.
We had an enjoyable lunch and conversed about many of our mutual interests.

Dearest Family,
The shock of Randys death is finally abating, I guess you know by now how much Randy was loved and appreciated in the Santa Barbara community, especially the Yoga and Drum circle people.
I had the opportunity to spend time with him the Friday and Monday prior to his untimely demise, as he was again helping me with the patching and painting of my house.
We had an enjoyable lunch and conversed about many of our mutual interests.
He carried around a huge smile along with his big heart.
I send my deepest condolenses and would like you to know that he spoke warmly of his family and we shared some similar Polish expressions and traits.
He is sorely missed.

Yesterday's memorial at the Santa Barbara Yoga Center was a fitting tribute to a man many said "walked the walk."
I will always remember Randy for his smile, humor and ubiquitous presence at the SB healthy hot spots.
After yesterday's memorial, I have been ruminating on the many gems that he offered all of us. I met him a couple of years ago in a yoga class and only began talking to him in 2011. This last winter he helped

Yesterday's memorial at the Santa Barbara Yoga Center was a fitting tribute to a man many said "walked the walk."

After yesterday's memorial, I have been ruminating on the many gems that he offered all of us. I met him a couple of years ago in a yoga class and only began talking to him in 2011. This last winter he helped transform the interior of a family house into a gorgeous sanctuary. His work ethic and attention to detail are apparent to anyone who walks into the house. I feel truly blessed that he was a part of the project that he embraced as if it were his own house. He got along well with the carpenter and plumber and was a welcome addition to a great team.
Randy, may you find the peace that eluded you in life.

Randy lived with my wife and I because of her kindness and love. I was only a friend and not a provider. In our sharing with Randy I (we) had hoped that Randy would accomplish the taskes and create the life he wanted: with accuouncture and a good wife as a companion in his journey through life. Randy and I (we) had a lot of merriment with music making. In these later years he was struggling with so many things

Randy lived with my wife and I because of her kindness and love. I was only a friend and not a provider. In our sharing with Randy I (we) had hoped that Randy would accomplish the taskes and create the life he wanted: with accuouncture and a good wife as a companion in his journey through life. Randy and I (we) had a lot of merriment with music making. In these later years he was struggling with so many things inside himself that it was painful to listen as he seemed in some emotional painful place that held him back from the life he really wanted. A life we all want: with love, good companionship and a meaingful career. I was so sad to hear he had left this world yet knowing how he was feeling, he has gone to the light. may he rest in peace and be happy again. Namaste !

Randy,

Thank you for the sweetness you shared with us in this lifetime!

I can attest to the fact that your manner was just as humble, your eyes just as bright and your smile just as radiant as always a few days before you left!

We ran into each other at the vitamin counter at Lazy Acres and decided that we should revisit the hot springs nestled high in our hills..

Little did I know that you were about to embark on a bigger

Little did I know that you were about to embark on a bigger journey--and step back over the veil that separates us only because most of us cannot see through it.

Bless you and all of your earthly family on both sides of it!

Randy!
You never made it out to Hawaii to visit me... now I am back in CA and doing the family thing! I hope you are having a great time wherever in God's creation you are now...
I knew you as a fellow musician, traveler, and lover of fine wine and women! I certainly hope the scenery is least as good there as it was in Santa Barbara!
Have a great ride and drop me a line when you can... I

Have a great ride and drop me a line when you can... I am always available for a deep philosophical beating!
If it's true only the good die young.... well you were one of the best a friend could have....
Peace My Good Brother!!!!

Godspeed Randy. Such a shock to hear of his passing. Our sincere condolences to his grieving family. We met Randy in SB oh, probably 15 or more years ago through his girlfriend at the time Dominique Tessier. We went camping together and later when we would bump into Randy at the farmer's market he was always so happy and always so positive. His presence on this planet will truly be missed. His spirit now soars beyond all earthly bounds.

Dear Randy a sweet, gentle soul you are, wandering through this troubled world. I will miss our random meetings...you always met me with reverence and humility. May your journey beyond be smooth and light.

Randy, may your journey be with grace. Condolences to your family, yours was a gentle soul, calm presence and pure heart.

Randy, you did do much more for the people around you than you ever knew, and then those beautiful eyes and that great smile, they were gifts too.
Thanks are all around for you.

Randy Good buddy:

Can't believe how fast that happened. Sure didn't look like you has a bad heart. It was just this last Sunday that I came into the Center first thing in the morning and noticed somebody had crashed the jewelry case, you were out there with your early morning computer, a trusted comrade, together we lifted the case back up. One of the last of countless ways in which you helped that place. You were a welcome presence there,

One of the last of countless ways in which you helped that place. You were a welcome presence there, an important presence. I wasn't surprised that you had offered to get in there and do the floor job, we'll have to do it without you now. We went back 20 years, to the Green Dragon days, I was at the Earthling, the drum circle, Patrick O'Donovan, you always carried yourself with composure amongst the madcap circus; Paulino; helping us here at our house for yoga trade. Michele always appreciated having you in class. The "shaktipat" from swami V, that was funny; in general you were a funny guy. "You know...! You know...!"

Hope your tour through the Bardos is efficient. Love to you, Steve Dwelley
