Appreciate you for being who you are, and shall miss seeing you around. To a guy who simply enjoys singing and dancing everywhere, to a friend on many memories, to a friend with whom I haven’t spoken in a long time. May you rest in the garden of God and carry on singing and dancing. RIP Randel Slater, Randel.
He was passionate in vehicles, trucks, and motorbikes. He even displayed a truck at car shows and had his vintage Dodge truck published in a truck magazine. He frequently rode motorcycles with friends and his brother Dar because he enjoyed the freedom of the open road.
