Reflections for Wildlife Officer Charles T. Randall

I was driving along the levy at the Palm Beach / Broward border late at night, just off of US 27, and saw the memorial for Charles Randall and Roy Burnsed (The flags are still flying). On my return, I hit a trailer parked in on the levy, rolled my vehicle a few times, ended up about 10 feet from the canal, but came out of it relatively unharmed. Perhaps Charles and Roy were watching over me.

Brother Randall,
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Respectfully,
You’re Brothers in Blue

~~~Eternally and Always~~~
I didn't get to say goodbye
You're gone without a reason why
I've loved you all of my life
and then you weren't there
I didn't get a chance to say
how much I cared
I can't even remember the tears
that I cried
All I really wanted was to tell you
Goodbye
When I last saw you I felt I wouldn't
see you again
There was a distance between us
that I couldn't explain
You wouldn't look
at me but I could see the tears
in your eyes
If you knew then
You should have told me
Then I could have said
Goodbye
So many words left unspoken
So many hearts left so broken
My love for you is forever
And that will never die
We'll be together always
Our souls are one with God
Eternally and Always
I'll never have to say
Goodbye

Rest in peace. God bless you.

This month, January 2004, we dedicated the new offshore patrol boat in Officer Randall's honor. The C.T. Randall is a $1.5 million patrol boat that will help protect the fragile reef system off the coast of Florida. A fitting honor to a real "10-8" officer and friend to all who knew him. Rest in peace, Charles!

I did not have the pleasure of knowing Charles, but just last week (5/14/02) I had the great plaesure of meeting his father. I can only imagine what a fine young man that Charles must have been.
My son Matthew, a Deputy Sheriff in the Whatcom County, Washington was also tragically killed in a vehicular accident while in pursuit of a felon.
Our hearts ache as we recount our stories of our sons but as we give our sorrow to God, we take great solace in His promise that someday we shall all reside in the kingdom of heaven together.
Rest in peace Charles and Matthew.

I always write a reflection for the officers killed in line of duty, and this time is very sad for me, my state (florida) have lost 4 wonderful officers in less than a week. To Officer Randall families and friends my heart and prayers go out to you.
God Bless you always
