Randy was a member of the mod_perl project management committee and a co-author of the mod_perl Developer's Cookbook. His work helped many Windows mod_perl users. His work with ppm files, and Win32 perl users will be sorely missed. He was kind, bright, and always willing to lend a hand on the mod_perl user's list.
