Hello! [RIP RandallFlagg]

[Randallflagg]

Hello folks here..


My name is Christopher and I am (was) RandallFlaggs son. I tried days ago to post a quick message about my Father but for some reason it wouldn't take?

My Father passed sometime between July 28th and August 30th of this year. He died attempting to help people who could not help themselves. I can't/won't go into much detail but needless to say, his family (my Mother, Sister and I) are devastated, however we know that he wouldn't have his service be any other way.

It was a private venture into another country and he was to provide logistic support for other men. Unfortunately, as they were achieving their goal of helping folks out, they faced an ambush and may Father and 2 others were killed. I have it on good authority though that he took several with him, though.

Mom talked about how much he loved engaging on this forum. She gave me his logon information and I thought I would post this quick note to inform all of his passing. Sorry, it has taken a while to commemorate Dad, but we were asked to "keep it under wraps" for a time.

Thanks to all of you who wrote to him on his time here.

Goodbye Chief!! You will be remembered forever. RIP Dad.

Christopher A

Hello again!

I came in this afternoon from taking care of the stock to find my Mother crying her eyes out, reading these responses. In her words, These are truly great people to post these wonderful responses. They have truly made her feel better (if that is possible).

One of my Dad's best friends, a retired Colonel, who was with them on their trip has contacted my Dad's publisher and asked to do a "final chapter" in his book. They are currently working that out. As soon as it becomes available I will let you all know.

Still, I can not thank you all enough from the bottom of my heart for the kind messages that you have all posted. My Father, although "elderly" was never one to shy away from what he considered to be his duty. Mom tried to talk him out of going, but she knew it was a waste of time so, as many times in the past, she kissed him goodbye and told him "See you when you get back". Unfortunately, this was his last ride. Knowing my Father however, he would have wanted it this way.

Now, his ranch is on my shoulders to take care of and I will. Every day when I see the sun coming up, his horse stomping around in the barn, coffee on the stove, I think of him fondly.

God bless you all. Thanks again for your kind responses.

Christopher

[Mephistopheles Janx]

Well damn. I'm sorry for your loss Christopher.

RIP Randallflagg

[Hydrae]

Thank you very much for the update. We have wondered about his absence. It is good to know at least a portion of what happened. It is sad to hear and I am sorry for your loss.

I am glad to know he went out doing what he was good at and obviously enjoyed. I know that I will miss his perspective on this forum.

[Wisconsin_Chief]

We were afraid of this.

So sorry for your loss, your father was a great man and you should be very proud of him.

[Iowanian]

That's unfortunate news to read.

I always enjoyed my interactions with him and thought he was likely a stand-up guy in his life. It would be easy to be proud of a dad like that. My condolences to your family for their loss.

[Garcia Bronco]

This is sad news, but it sounds like he acquitted himself with honor. Peace be upon him and your family. I am sorry for your loss and I thank him for his service.

[Bwana]

I'm really sorry to hear this. Your Dad was a good man.

[Dayze]

damn.

[alpha_omega]

RIP sir.

[Pennywise]

Damn.

[Marcellus]

Damn, until Valhalla brother.

A man who's actions backed up his words.

[Bugeater]

Well fuck me...this is just awful news.

[TLO]

RIP

[Bugeater]

Anyone else think this thread should be in the Lounge instead of the cesspool?

[displacedinMN]

We are all grateful to what your father did and will miss him here on CP.
Please take care as a family.

[Prison Bitch]

May he RIP

[ClevelandBronco]

I’m sorry.

“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

[DJJasonp]

RIP. Really enjoyed hearing his takes on politics and society in general.

The man had quite a bit of wisdom to share....

[Easy 6]

Crushing news

I feared he might be gone but figured it would've been cancer, not something like this... running around some apparent (I have a guess where) war zone at his age, trying to help people

I had much respect for your Dad, very very sorry for your families loss

ps - will his book ever come out?

[LOCOChief]

Sorry for your families loss. Glad he went out helping others.

[Dayze]

Damn, until Valhalla brother.

A man who's actions backed up his words.

was just thinking that.

[lawrenceRaider]

RIP, condolences to the family and friends.

[Bwana]

Anyone else think this thread should be in the Lounge instead of the cesspool?


Works for me.

[jdubya]

Damn. We sorta shared cancer stories together a bit. Good man. RIP Sir!

[Prison Bitch]

Sometimes I wondered if he belonged here. He believed in things like patriotism and honor but most of us only shitpost. I know our shitlibs were a shock to his system (most of us are numb to them)

OTOH, it prob reminded him of being in the army. I’m guessing they all had the same types of shitpost convos then, just like here.

[Mizzou_8541]

Brutal news. I’m so sorry for you loss.

[Garcia Bronco]

Anyone else think this thread should be in the Lounge instead of the cesspool?

yes

[BucEyedPea]

I am very, very sorry to hear this Christopher. He voluntarily risked his live saving multiple people—the very definition of a hero. (Like Easy 6 I've also a guess where, as well.)

RIP Randallflagg.

[Imon Yourside]

He is with the Lord now, to that I'm sure of.

[ChiefsCountry]

Anyone else think this thread should be in the Lounge instead of the cesspool?

Yes.

[MarkDavis'Haircut]

Randall Flagg was one of my favorite posters.

RIP and God bless to his family.

[penguinz]

Sorry for your loss. RIP Marten Broadcloak.

[ModSocks]

RIP, sorry to hear that.

[Ninerfan11]

RIP, seemed like a great guy.

[LiveSteam]

Heartbreaking.
Your family will be in my prayers
RIP Rand

[KC Dan]

RIP to your dad and my condolences to the family of a clear cut hero!

[Donger]

I'm very sorry to hear this news. Condolences to you and your family. He will be missed.

And, you'll always be his son.

[HayWire]

Damn, RIP

Yes, please move this.

[fan4ever]

You're going through one of the hardest things in life.
May God comfort you and guide you through your life as your father did.

[frozenchief]

I am very saddened to hear this. [moment of silence].

May he rest in peace.

[Shiver Me Timbers]

Really Hard to read. Randall was a Patriot and I have no doubt he took a few with him.
Godspeed.
Sorry for your loss Christopher. You are a blessed man having a pops like Randall.

[roman gnome]

Gods speed Brother! R.I.P.

[carlos3652]

RIP. Condolences. He’s a hero.

[Just Passin' By]

May he rest in peace

[Pointer19]

Rest in Peace, Randall. Sorry for your family's loss, Christopher.

[PHOG]

A true hero. Condolences to your family. RIP Randallflagg.

[MIAdragon]

Would like to buy a few copies of that book

[big nasty kcnut]

Rip and thank god he took a couple of scumbag out before his untimely death.

[Lzen]

Well, damn! Sounds like your dad was a good man. He didn't post much over the years but I remember him. Too bad he didn't post more. Would loved to have met him in person. Prayers for you and your family and may he RIP.

[tredadda]

Nothing but the ultimate in respect for him. It is sad to hear of his passing, but he passed as a hero in the service of others. That is a noble end if ever there was one. You should be proud of him for all he has done.

[2112]

Condolences. RIP Randall

[Marcellus]

Crushing news

I had much respect for your Dad, very very sorry for your families loss

ps - will his book ever come out?

Given the timing and description you would almost have to assume he went to Afghanistan during the "pull out". There isa month in question there they dont even know the exact date.

[Tribal Warfare]

My condolences

[dtrain]

RIP MY BROTHER

[Dallas Chief]

Really sucks to hear this. What a great man and Patriot! RIP RandallFlagg.

[burt]

Christopher,

Condolences on your loss. As a cantankerous old SOB, myself, let me say, he went out like a warrior should.....boots on. Like Duncan Idaho, your Dad took the "name" of a character from one of my 2 favorite books, so I always read what he had to say. He was a good, strong man, irregardless of his physical stature.

[JohnnyHammersticks]

My sympathies Christopher. I liked your father. He was a voice of reason and a good man.

[DaFace]

Well fuck. Thank you for letting us know, and condolences.

[Otter]

So sorry to hear. Your father is a good man and we share a similar philosophy on many things in life.

God speed!

[seclark]

rip
sec

[Frazod]

So sorry to hear this. Your dad was one of my favorite people here. RIP :(

[notorious]

Rest easy Walking Dude.

[theoldcoach]

Randallflagg and I became pretty close on this message board.

During the young part of our lives, our experiences were so similar in the jungles and hills of Vietnam. Although he was an Army "Screaming Eagle" and I a Marine "Walking Dead" we were in essentially the same place at the same time in and around the A Shau Valley.

When you get to be our age, it was nice to find another who had shared experiences so much like your own. And I enjoyed our discussions more than Randall probably even knew.

As for now..........keep the light on for me, Brother. The rest of us will be along shortly. I'll bring the pound cake and you get the peaches.

I leave you with this, Randallflagg. Rest In Peace, My Brother. I have the watch!!

101ST AIRBOURNE DIVISION

Into the skies they flew
with a heart full of pride
to defend our country's freedom
knowing it could be a one-way ride.

God America and family
for freedon's sake each task
the eagles took flight
knowing each mission could be the last.

Many father's eyes filled with tears
many mother's hearts broken in two
yet so proud of their children
for up holding "The Red, White, and Blue".

Many parents, children, wives and husbands separated
by the battles in the skies forever
loving hearts left in pieces with only
a folded flag and a medal.

To all our hero's of the 101st
whose wings feel no wind
your bravery and courage leaves footprints in history
"the great eagles who will never fly again".

Every American owes you a debt of thanks
may God keep you in his heart and hands
because of your selfless sacrifice
as into history, "you will fly time and time again".

RIP Randallflag
Thank you for your service.

[philfree]

An American hero. RIP

[TribalElder]

damn... RIP

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Dammit, Randal was one of my favorites here. His thoughts and views were same as mine almost to a T. I'm surprised this happened to him in this way at his age but then again not.

I'd like to express my sincere condolences to his family. He seemed to be a great person and a proud American.

He will be missed.

[Buehler445]

Goddamn it.

I didn't venture into DC much, but when I did I never looked at one of his posts and thought, well that's bullshit. Dude was always real. And he had some really well formed and substantiated opinions.

If he spoke up it was a well informed post.

RIP to a good member and by all accounts a better person.

[srvy]

Just sad news but felt something was wrong when he didn't chime in on our cowardly abandonment of US citizens in that shithole we all know. Instead, this honorable man was walking it not talking it. We have lost one of America's finest. Time to rest soldier you have been released from your watch. You're with your buddies that went before you that should be one hell of a reunion. Prayers out to your grieving family looking up with tears and pride in this good man. We will miss you on the chief's planet for sure.

I hope that your book was finished so that I may read it one day. If not well we missed out on one hell of a story!

RIP Husband Father and Soldier, Gods speed!

[Raiderhater]

That crusty ol' jungle warrior fought on behalf of his country to the bitter end. We lost a good one. Thank you, and thanks to your family, for your service and sacrifice. God bless and RIP.

[KCJake]

RIP sir !

[rabblerouser]

RIP RandallFlagg, I'm a big fan of the "Man In Black" novels myself

[Pablo]

May he RIP. My condolences to you and your family.

[Chiefspants]

RIP Randall :(

[RINGLEADER]

God Bless and Godspeed…

[CoMoChief]

Was always nice seeing him on the DC lounge giving it to the commies on the board.

RIP sir.

[tx4chiefs]

Sorry for your loss.

Go Chiefs!

[Easy 6]

Its just a total trip that this man, at his age, was over there pulling some James Bond level badassery... gunned down by some taliban goat fucker

He doesn't even get the call to come help on something like that, unless he was and is just exactly who he told you he was... a retired, high level military operative

What a stud, tougher than a corn cob... RIP, Sir

[Bump]

damn that's awful to hear. He seemed like a good man, sorry for your loss.

[Peter Gibbons]

I am so sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences.

[Molitoth]

Respect!

[crazycoffey]

Sorry for your loss. My father passed away this year too. It’s completely life altering. My thoughts and good wishes/prayers are with you and your family. Remember; you can only control what you can control. Focus on his memories and emulate the attributes you admired the most.

[ThyKingdomCome15]

In those other countries they view charity very differently. If you're not helping their clan then you're aiding the enemy. That's so horrible and I deeply honor his bravery and charity work. God rest his soul.

Thank you for this update. What a brave man!

[Easy 6]

Can we just go ahead and pin this for a little bit, mods?

Been kinda waiting, it seems appropriate

[Coochie liquor]

Wow. I am so sorry not only to read this about a true hero, but also for you who have lost your father. I did not know him personally, but as a member of this forum I do indeed grieve for him, you, and your family. Bless up to you Christopher. May your memories be filled with the happiness that your father brought you. One love!!

[MVChiefFan]

So sorry for your loss. He’s a true hero and we appreciate him and your family, greatly.

[BryanBusby]

Not a falseflagg afterall? Damn. Condolences. RIP

[Vladimir_Kyrilytch]

RIP to your father. Only the good die young. And yes, he was young.

[mlyonsd]

Godspeed to your dad and family.

Some people run into a fire to help. They are a special breed.

[Rain Man]

I'm really sorry to hear this. He was a good guy that I enjoyed getting to know on this board. Best wishes to his family, and I'm going to miss hearing from him.

[stevieray]

RIP, STUD. You lived a life others could only dream of...

Salute.

Thank you for posting this. My condolences to you and your family.

This story shall the good man teach his son,
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,

But we in it shall be remembered;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother.

[IowaHawkeyeChief]

I'm super sad to hear the news. He was truly a great American and understood the true cost of freedom and the reality we face in this country with the erosion of freedoms. I had hopes of meeting him sometime in Wyoming when I passed through on the way to Montana. I also would enjoy reading his book if it was/will be published. Unfortunately, it sounds as though he went to clean up some of that afghan debacle...so in memory of your Dad, "LET'S GO BRANDON!". I also hope he left you the location where all of his guns fell out of the boat and are at the bottom of the lake... ;)

Hello Christopher,

I'm sorry to hear of this, I know it's hard on you and your family. Be as strong as you can in this time, for your family and I'm sure they'll do the same bud. Your dad was a good man and well received by the crowd here on Chiefs Planet. I would love if one day you'd make an account of your own and hang out with us. Would love to have you post more when the time is right for you.

All the best to you.

[Chiefs4TheWin]

Ahhh damn. RIP. So sorry to hear :(. Thoughts and prayers.

[LongSufferingToady]

I am so sorry for your loss. May your dad rest knowing he changed lives.

[sully1983]

So sorry for your loss Christopher. I sincerely wish all the best to you and the rest of your family. I haven't been on here all that long but your dad was an incredible poster on here and a patriot irl. RIP to RandalFlagg. Your dad will never be forgotten

[Al Czervik]

Damn sorry to hear this....
I enjoyed all my interactions with your Dad.
Quality all around great guy!!!

RIP Randallflagg!!!

[Rasputin]

I'm not taking deaths well too many lately I'm sorry to hear this although didn't interact much with him I've always liked him as a poster and thought was a cool guy.

I'd rather it be me than the loved ones of others

[Rukdafaidas]

I'm very sorry for your loss, Christopher. Prayers for you and your family. RIP Randallflagg.

[luv]

I'm sorry for your loss. RIP.

[ChiTown]

Paid the ultimate sacrifice of putting his life in danger in order to save others. Amazing courage. God bless your Family, Christopher. RIP, Randall. You will be missed.

[Abba-Dabba]

That sucks. Sorry for your loss.

And here I thought he was elderly, undergoing cancer treatments and writing a book. I would love to learn more about his life and his final moments. It sounds like some hero stuff.

[scho63]

Randall was a great guy and we shared similar ideology. Really sad to hear this.

May you and your family have God's love and support as he welcomes your father, a true hero.

RIP

[kepp]

I'm so sorry to hear that news. Randall seemed like a good guy...straight shooter. And as it turns out, he definitely backed up his words with actions. I thank your father for his service and I thank you and your family for the support that undoubtedly allowed it.

RIP

[Shaid]

I think most of us have a good idea of where he went. Balls of steel. God speed and thank you for your service.

[HayWire]

Thanks mods for moving this. Can I speak my peace without this going back to DC?

If not...Fuck off. (just kidding you bunch of pansies).

True story....

I was outside mowing and couldn't help but but keep thinking of this thread. Stopped the mower and came inside to make a post that will get ignored.

Right wing, left wing....doesnt matter. Swallow your pride and say God Bless/Biden/Abdulag/Gondi/Trump.

I never thought we would see the day when we would fight each other over stupid shit. Covid/Non-Covid...Vaxed-NonVaxed...

At some point both sides need to just shake fucking hands and "agree to disagree"

I've lost family in the military and have more left in.

My son, to this day, knows respect. He is 10 years old and knows he better go shake the hand of a vet. We was at a McDs a couple of months a go and he got up and went to shake a hand.....the vet was confused. My son pointed to his hat and said thank you. Shook his hand and walked away.

We'll never know his name or see him again.....but it wouldn't have happened without people like Mr. Flagg.

I'd give my savings ($3.57) to have my 10 year old shake his hand and say thank you.

RIP Mr. Flagg

Agree. I hope his son will log on in the future with more info and let us know if Randall finished his book.

[Easy 6]

Agree. I hope his son will log on in the future with more info and let us know if Randall finished his book.

He told me it was done, and in the DC thread he confirms it by saying its 256 pages and 10 chapters

Christopher I'm so sad to hear the news your father. Hel was a man's man, he was very respectful to all and served his country honorably. What's more than meets the eye, he is one of many buildings pieces this country was built on. I give my condolences and may God give an abundance of Love, Comfort and Peace of Mind for you and your family. May you rest in peace Randall Flagg, Thank You for your service. I am honored to call you my friend. Until later brother, already miss ya!

I was just reading that thread. Very late February he said it was going to be published in 8 weeks. It should have come out very late April or early May if my higher math is on point.

[FlaChief58]

RIP

[bdj23]

Dang, that sucks. I was always jealous of his soon to be laying low out in Wyoming (a dream of mine too).

He was an interesting personality and will surely be missed around here.

RIP old timer

[Perineum Ripper]

During my quick trip to Afghanistan a few months ago to help get citizens out that were left, I had heard about an ambush and we tried to respond. Don’t know if it was Randall or not, we did try to get out to that area. We were stopped due heavy fire and only being 4 of us trying to get there.



If that was him, I’m sorry I was not able to get there quicker, not being able to help, not being there with his outfit. I hope your family finds peace

[Reerun_KC]

This guy was a true American hero and legend. This is truly sad and he will be missed more than many will know. Much respect for his sacrifice to protect us all.


Ps mods. Thanks for removing the old thread where our vile dogshit humans like rodeo and cosmo, etc were posting their usual moronic disgusting tripe. Much respect for that action.

[Randallflagg]

Hello again!

I came in this afternoon from taking care of the stock to find my Mother crying her eyes out, reading these responses. In her words, These are truly great people to post these wonderful responses. They have truly made her feel better (if that is possible).

One of my Dad's best friends, a retired Colonel, who was with them on their trip has contacted my Dad's publisher and asked to do a "final chapter" in his book. They are currently working that out. As soon as it becomes available I will let you all know.

Still, I can not thank you all enough from the bottom of my heart for the kind messages that you have all posted. My Father, although "elderly" was never one to shy away from what he considered to be his duty. Mom tried to talk him out of going, but she knew it was a waste of time so, as many times in the past, she kissed him goodbye and told him "See you when you get back". Unfortunately, this was his last ride. Knowing my Father however, he would have wanted it this way.

Now, his ranch is on my shoulders to take care of and I will. Every day when I see the sun coming up, his horse stomping around in the barn, coffee on the stove, I think of him fondly.

God bless you all. Thanks again for your kind responses.

Christopher

One of my Dad's best friends, a retired Colonel, who was with them on their trip has contacted my Dad's publisher and asked to do a "final chapter" in his book. They are currently working that out. As soon as it becomes available I will let you all know.

Still, I can not thank you all enough from the bottom of my heart for the kind messages that you have all posted. My Father, although "elderly" was never one to shy away from what he considered to be his duty. Mom tried to talk him out of going, but she knew it was a waste of time so, as many times in the past, she kissed him goodbye and told him "See you when you get back". Unfortunately, this was his last ride. Knowing my Father however, he would have wanted it this way.

Now, his ranch is on my shoulders to take care of and I will. Every day when I see the sun coming up, his horse stomping around in the barn, coffee on the stove, I think of him fondly.

God bless you all. Thanks again for your kind responses.

You are undoubtedly very proud of your father, and you should be..it's pretty evident he and your mom raised one hell of a son.

Good fortune to you with the ranch.

:rockon:

p.s. Can't wait to read your father's words.

[cdcox]

Christopher, I’m so sorry for the loss that you and your mother are going through. I’m glad you both have fond memories by which to remember and honor him.

RIP Randall

it seems like Randall was one of those rare combinations, a good guy and a total bad ass.

I'm looking forward to the book

[Chiefs=Champions]

Sorry to hear that. RIP to your dad

This.

When the memories go into circulation please scream it loud and proud so no one that wants to read them misses the chance.

I shall do the same.

[lewdog]

This is a rare kind of man. ALWAYS share his story because even with a sad ending, it's incredible.

My condolences to all who knew him.

[Bowser]

Condolences to you and your family, Christopher. Your father seemed to be an honorable man who loved his country and backed up his talk. We should all be so lucky to have such a person in our family.

Godspeed, Randall.

[Marcellus]

I kinda figured you would've gotten wind of that situation, I'm still just stupefied that he was even there to begin with... the ****ing BALLS on that old dude

Some people liked to talk shit on Randall and his views but the fact is he walked the walk not just the talk which trumps 99% of this board. You could tell he was a man of convictions.

Warrior doing Warrior shit. RIP.

I have as much respect or more for Randall as any person in this forum.

No lie... the life he led from Vietnam, to his military intelligence experience, to his final act of supreme bravery at an advanced age is a genuine marvel, and incredible example for ALL Americans

Sure wish his son would let us know how to get that book...

[HC_Chief]

Until Valhalla, Randall...
Many of us hope one day to be worthy, but we likely shall never come close. RIP. What an absolute badass and selfless warrior.

The man who posted under the alias Randallflagg is a hero PERIOD. Those who spoke ill of this man are cowards. Politics be damned. God Bless you the man we knew as Randall. and Peace to his family. Christopher- Your father IS a hero and a Patriot. This country would not exist were it not FOR men like him.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

[DCTwister]

Dammit reading this thread makes me super proud of being an American. Thank you for your sacrifice to our country and friends, Randall.

[FRCDFED]

RIP. Prayers for family and friends

Me too. I'd like some info to be able to preorder.

I'm really interested in hearing about the time he said he spent in Moscow in the 80's while the Soviet's still ruled. Life in an embassy must be much more boring than it sounds. But who knows. Maybe it is all the glitz, glamor and spy stuff like in the movies.

[JakeF]

RIP

Dayum. :(

[Braincase]

Peace.

[wazu]

What a badass. Thanks for being part of this community, RandallFlagg. We will miss you.

[duncan_idaho]

Well, that is sad and inspiring to hear all at the same time.

I'm sorry for your and your mother's loss, Christopher.

I'm happy your mother is enjoying the responses.

Your father might have left this plane of existence, but he left doing something he believed in strongly and would not have had it another way.

[tatorhog]

RIP, one of the few folks on here I genuinely enjoyed reading the comments by. We should all be so lucky to have someone like him in our lives.

[BIG_DADDY]

Christopher,

So sorry for you and your families loss. I am sure you couldn't be more proud of him or how he lived. He saw things as they were and did his best to help those he thought he could. Those are rare qualities these days. I will miss not seeing his posts anymore. May the heavens open up and welcome their warrior home and may god bless you and your family.

[IA_Chiefs_fan]

I'm sorry about the loss. He sounds like a good guy and a badass.

[booger]

Sorry to hear about this. I enjoyed his opinions and thoughts on a variety of topics. He was the type of person this country and world needs more of. As all military families your mom and you sacrificed so much with his time serving. Thanks to both of you for that.

I’ve worked in machine shops with Vietnam and other vets and have been fortunate to be trained as a couple I would consider mentors. Great men. Great stories! If a person pays attention and opens their eyes and simply listens when those opportunities arise, to work with or however you get to know them, online in this case...you can gain so much. Their sacrifice, leadership, and unselfishness gives them instant credibility in my experience. I look back and really appreciate plenty of things about life I learned. Much of it not military related just life experience.

Without knowing him in real life I got the same kind of view of him. Just a great guy all around. That attitude, leadership ability, great role model and fathers, grand fathers...this country and world more people like him.

I’m sure you are as proud of him as he was of you. Be yourself and do the best you can. He sounds like a great father and husband. You and your mom are going to go through tough times just be there to lean on each other like family should always do. You and your mom can know the impact he had with a bunch of football nuts by just being himself! You and her need to remember that on the bad days to lift your spirits!

God Bless you both

RIP Randall

[theoldcoach]

I miss you, brother!

Did anyone ever get any information on the forthcoming book? Long time reader that would be interested in reading this book!

[IowaHawkeyeChief]

If anyone from Randall Flagg'[U]s family is still checking this site, please posts any updates on the book. Many of us would love to purchase and read.
