Rest in Peace, brother! You were a pleasure to be with in this life...
ReplyDeleteAlmost fifty years ago, Randy became my new neighbor and first friend at Delta, and I will miss him tremendously.
ReplyDeleteCaptain Hovey was a wonderful pilot and was one of the first Captains I flew with in New Orleans for Delta Air Lines. I enjoyed his wit and humor. His stories were priceless. God bless him and his family. I’m so thankful and glad we came across each other in this lifetime. He will be missed tremendously.
