Great memories

I'll always remember you growing up on Colorado Street and coming over to your house with my sister Vera to babysit.  Happy times--good memories.  You will be missed Randy.  RIP   Love, Cousin Dotsy.

Missing Randy

I can't explain the pain and loss that I feel. Randy always looked out for me even when I was growing up. I want to cherish all the nice memories and there were a ton of them. I loved when he use to go back and forth and joke with my Dad. It was hysterical. Love you Randy.  You're always in my heart. Part of me has died with you, Randy. Rest in peace.

Great man

I did not know Randy personally but I knew of him through his daughter Natalie. She always held him on a pedestal and spoke of her magical childhood days growing up with him. He was her best friend and confidant throughout her adulthood as he made every day of her life an absolute joy. He will surely be missed!!

Loving Cousin

I remember babysitting for Randy and all the Dezii kids when my older sister Vera couldn't make it.  It was always so much fun.  They were all such great kids and Randy being the oldest was always a brother they could count on and look up to.  I will always remember Randy and his smiling face.   Love and miss you,.

Delivery Service

I remember Natalie’s Dad dropping off a gift to me to my house. When I opened the door he said, Hello, Natalie Dezii’s delivery service.” He had such a kind smile. Rest In Peace.. 🙏🏼 Natalie and Bernadette, I’m so sorry for your loss.

With great sympathy, Lisa Bronca

So Great a Loss

Randy and I go way back when my father (Eddie Dezii) would visit his father (Randy Sr.) and I would get to see the whole gang (Uncle Randy, Aunt Marge, Randy Jr., Steven, Mark, Gary, Christopher, Susan, and Keith). It was one visit that I always looked forward to and still have fond memories of. Years later Randy Jr., Steven, and I attended the same High School (Bishop Neumann) and even played ball together. It was fond memories such as these that I will never forget and neither will my wife (Regina DeLisio Dezii) nor I ever forget you, Randy Jr. You will truly be missed! Our sincerest condolences to the entire family.

Big Brother

Wow, in my childhood, my brother Randy was one of the best athletes I had ever seen. He had the best throwing arm and his snowballs use to wiz by your head and sound like a Missile just went by.  He was always my protector and I felt good about that. A great guitar player as well. The Ventures would have been proud.  I was an altar server at his wedding.  He loved my parents and was in awe of my Father, they seemed to speak the same language, Ha. Ha.  He was a fun loving guy, trying like all of us, to find our way in life. He was a cradle Catholic and that pleases me the most. I had never heard such stories like I had heard from Randy. I can only laugh when I think of the memories. When your brother leaves this earth quickly, I personally take away all the goodness that he represented for me. He was very close to my deceased sister Susan, and that broke his heart immensely, as was mine. I feel comforted that he left this earth naturally. Through his Baptism he has died with Christ and has also risen with him. I truely believe that. For my Mom to witness his passing at the age of 92, I can only trust in God's wisdom of the greater good for our salvation. We must take seriously the need to pray for his soul.  Those who have fallen asleep can pray for us but cannot pray for themselves.  I will continue on in to my eternal life with my family as I trust in God's promises. My tears now, and there are many, are for his physical presence, and yet my soul rejoices in his homecoming. I love my brother and he loved me.  How beautiful is that. May Our Lord fill my heart with God's peace.    Beloved Brother, Gary
