Kris A here (from YouTube)- I'm in the UK, so of course cannot attend if it were indeed possible. To the Yarnall family: I did not know Randy as I knew Kelley, but please accept my sincerest condolences for your loss. It seemed clear to me that Randy and Kelley were close friends and they were great at what they did together. Randy will be missed.
ReplyDeleteKind regards from me, Kris A, a British fan of all to do with Kelley's storm chases where Randy was a major part.
May Randy (and his best friend, Kelley), rest in peace.
Sincerely, Kris A.
