I was just catching up on some BAEM club news letters and
saw this in the October edition. I have never met him but it
is nearly impossible to go to a show and not see one of his
designs on display.
Randall passed away two weeks
ago. He had been treated with chemotherapy for his
leukemia following the show, and suffered complications
that led to his hospitalization. Our group has had a long
and rich relationship with Randall. We met him first at
the PRIME shows in Oregon and were intrigued by his
ingenious and thoroughly original designs. His modesty
and marvelous sense of humor made it a pleasure to be
in his company. He developed the visible four and six
cylinder engines with a modular design that he also made
into V-twins and singles. His Hoglet V-Twin is a classic
and will be made for many years to come. His Briggs
and Stratton cylindered giant Hoglet powered his
motorcycle and he was developing a new twin based on a
small auto engine that he showed us at the August show.
Randall mastered nearly all phases of the machining arts
and was unique and fine human being.
