Duck “was quite a cat”
You cant think of Duck and not have a smile and a laugh over one of the many memories made together over the years.
Always one of the first to lend a hand and always with his quick witted humor and many memorable sayings
He was one hell of a good friend. We had a hell of a lot of good times, over the years. One hell of alot memories made. Mallard was one hell of a cat. Forever in our hearts. Gone but never forgotten. Catch up with ya later.

Fran and the Bedard Family: Our sincere condolences to the family, Randall was one of a kind, always had a smile on his face. He along with Mike were some of the skilled work force lucky enough to have worked for Ivan Kalbfleisch back in the day. What a crew. You could write a book about some of the escapes that happened. RIP Duck.

Over the years whenever we would be working on a drywall project Duck’s name would come up. Usually followed by Roger saying ” man he could drywall”.
I’ll be thinking of you all in the days ahead.
