Our condolences to you, Ann and your family.
we go back a lot of years to our time at River Falls and our
years on the Unity Faculty when John served on the
Board. He was a great asset to the area.

Dear Ann and family,
John was such a big part of mine and Charlie's life for so many years (As you were Ann). We all shared many wonderful times together however, John and Charlie shared more than we will ever know. The mutual respect and love that they had as "Brothers" could only be understood by them. For me, John was a rock! Always there to give me kind advice then I needed. And never afraid to tell me what I might not want to hear. Our lives were blessed by John's life. Charlie would say, "for every moment of peace, liberty and greatness our Country enjoys, we have someone who has worn a uniform to thank". Thank you John Randall! You will be missed by many. Give Charlie a hug for me when you meet again to share your memories and secrets. Love and prayers to Ann and family. Always in my heart, Jan Kelton-Wolden

Dear Ann and family,
We were so sorry to hear of John's passing. Glad that we got to spend time with the two of you during the last few years. What a great gentleman he was. Loved sharing family stories and seeing his home and farm. If we can clear our schedule, we will see you at his funeral.
Love and God Bless,
Larry and Marilyn Peterson

I am very sad to hear of John's passing. He was one of the very first people I met when I started my teaching career at Unity in 1970. Both he and his wife Ann had a positive influence on my career as they were very supportive and were great advocates of providing a good education for all of our students.
A very good supporter of the Unity Community who will be missed. My condolences to his family and a big thank you for all he has done for so many people living in our area.

Bob, I had no idea you knew John. Funny the things you learn later in life. As a young man with no positive fatherly influence, John was very positive for me while helping me navigate the wiles of youth.

Dear Randall family,
We were deeply saddened to learn the passing of John. It is unreal. He was such a great person. He was a great help for me when I first moved to the US (Caroline) and I'll always be greatful for that. We will be with you in our hearts next week. Unfortunately, we won't be able to attend, as we are out of the country right now. Please accept our deepest condolences.
