The Vivid-Pix Family wishes Randy Fredlund and his Family strength and healing. I’ve known Randy for over 20 years and am fortunate to know him as a friend and business partner. I’ve also been fortunate to learn from and appreciate his deep family caring and values – a son who was devoted to his mother in too many ways to describe.
On a lighter note, Randy’s the cute, crewcut kid in the bottom left of the family photo roughly 60 years ago – and of course the one dancing with his mom!
Celebrate Life!
