In Memory of Randy Clegg

One year

A year has already passed by. Hard to believe. I still think of you often Randy.

Randy always was the king of tickle torture- at least to me, anyway. I seem to remember tears and not being able to breathe...

Three Generations of Clegg Boys

2008-12-06T17:20:00.000-08:00

This is a favorite photo of mine, taken in Grandma and Grandpa's backyard in Pleasant Grove. LaVar didn't know he was in it so it was one of those "Kodak moments" that I didn't realize I was capturing—of all the guys.

I love it because it isn't a posed shot—unlike most Sorenson/Clegg photos. But most of all, I love it because it reflects how much fun we have as a family when we get together.

Randy's birthday

2008-10-08T22:45:00.000-07:00

Randy would be 39 today. My birthday memory of Randy is "Randy wrap." Every year I got a candy bar wrapped tightly in a brown bag. And so we called it "Randy wrap." Happy birthday Randy.

wood pen

2008-09-06T14:55:00.000-07:00

I have a deck in my back yard made of this very hard, dense wood called Ipe (pronounced ee-pay). Randy saw it when he visited three years ago. I gave him some of the leftover pieces and later he sent me this pen that he made from that wood. I have no idea how he crafted it so perfectly to fit the pen components. I would think he had a heck of a time working with it; the wood is so hard that many nails were broken during the deck installation.

clock by Randy

2008-09-03T16:30:00.000-07:00

Randy made a clock for me for Christmas one year, a different design than the one he gave my parents. Another example of his fine workmanship...

chessboard by Randy

2008-08-27T20:39:00.000-07:00

This is the most recent Christmas gift that Randy made for me. It is pretty hefty and very well crafted. He included a note where he explained that it was made from Peruvian walnut and American cherry wood. I'm including a few close-up shots so you can see the detail. (Click a photo for the full version.) He was quite a talented woodworker. You can definitely see his perfectionist tendencies here.

This was at a Clegg family reunion- I think Randy snuck off to read a body building book.

Gift from Randy

2008-08-17T17:04:00.000-07:00

Jewelry Box. Christmas gift, hand made by Randy. He loved exotic hard woods. This one is made of Curly Maple and Bolivian Rosewood.

Another Gift from Randy

2008-08-17T16:54:00.000-07:00

Another hand made Christmas gift to his parents. Made by Randy of natural finish hardwoods. Note the matching of the wood grain around the corner, indicative of the detail he put into his projects.

Randy's Construction

One of the new houses in Colville, WA that Randy helped construct. He worked on most phases of the building although his specialty was inside finish carpentry and trim.

Randy with Samantha

2008-08-12T21:24:00.001-07:00

This is how Randy enters my mind the most- with Samantha. But in my mind, Randy is always making her play the drums or the guitar.
