NATCA CAE TOWER

08/07/2026

Randy was an integral part of the aviation community in the Columbia area. Over the years, nothing was ever too much for Randy when it came to helping ATC. He was always willing to lend a hand, go the extra mile, and do whatever was necessary to support us.

Randy also did a tremendous amount of work with NATCA during the Hurricane Helene relief efforts, once again showing the kind of person he was and his commitment to helping others.

His presence in our aviation community will truly be missed.

Blue skies and tailwinds, Randy. May you rest in peace. 🕊️
