I would like to take this opportunity to pass on my condolences to the family at this difficult time. I was shocked to hear of his sudden passing and since hearing the news reflected back to those days when we used to spend time together. I recalled regular visits traveling from Winnipeg to Oak Point and then more frequent visits when we lived in Elmwood and the Lowen Family moved to Bowman Avenue. I can't recall anything specifically that we did. We just did what came naturally. It was our teen years and we shared the good and bad times and discovered that we were facing the same difficulties and challenges which itself was comforting to know that we weren't alone. We shared, learned and grew from the experiences and it all seemed to happen so quickly. We were resilient and within the blink of an eye and an idea or thought we were off on some sort of adventure just having fun doing whatever came to mind. I just recall the fond memories of those times which will live within me always so in a sense Randy will always be with us because of those memories. RIP Randy. - Posted by: Peter Allan (Giesbrecht) (Cousin) on: Dec 30, 2014

Randy and his buddies would set up a monopoly game in the basement at 350 Bowman Avenue that would go on for days it seemed. To me, the little sister, it seemed so grown up. They had a lot of fun. I also remember playing hopscotch in Oak Point with my older brothers. This was after Mom and Dad moved to town from the farm. The brothers would draw the squares so big that I could never finish! I also remember Randy, Bruce, Gerald and Ken building these huge kites at the place we first lived in in Winnipeg in St. Vital. When I visited with Randy in Winnipeg this past October we joked about those kites made out of 2x4s and how there was no way they would ever get off the ground. They never did fly, but the boys whiled away many hours building them. RIP my brother - your struggles are over. - Posted by: Gloria Lowen (Sister) on: Dec 29, 2014

Heartfelt tears fall today for the family. Growing up was made more interesting having Randy as one of the "bigger/older" cousins. Times spent delivering flyers (always a competition.) Chasing around on the city streets.Downtown we'd go as a gang and see 3 movies for 90 cents. I've held those memories dear and close over the years. I was blessed while growing up to have had your friendship. Rest in Peace Cousin. - Posted by: Irene Bennett (nee Loewen) (Cousin) on: Dec 27, 2014
