Memories & Condolences

Our parents were friends when we were children. I am glad Randy had such a full life. It is always nice to know that friends from one's past turn out well. My parents were Chuck and Patty Bennett.

Randy was always so nice and helpful to me when we worked together at Riggs. If I had a question or needed to address an issue I had never before encountered, he was happy to provide helpful advice and guidance. He provided me with valuable real estate law information that I still refer to today.

When I moved to Arvada, Randy gave me the inside scoop that only a real local could provide.

Even after I left the firm, Randy was someone I knew I could count on. He and his lovely wife were so wonderful to work with when my mother-in-law was searching for a new home in Arvada. They really welcomed her and found her a great place to live.

My thoughts and prayers are with Sandy and the rest of the family. I will never forget Randy.

Randy was a very kind hearted man who gave so much to others. It was always a delight to see his smile in the office. He always had a kind word and enjoyed talking about his family. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to know him! My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

Dear Rinquest family, I am so very saddened to hear of Randy's passing. What a kind, genuinely caring and good man he was. I had missed him at the office in recent years, always asking my dad and sister how he was doing. Please know how very much he touched our lives, and how much of an honor it was to have known him. My heart goes out to you all during this time.

The Rinquests were my neighbors for most of my life and I truly felt welcomed as I tagged along with my sister to play with Rain. :) Randy was always very kind and supportive of us and I will always remember his support of my dreams and encouraging words. I too was blessed to have him as a neighbor.

The Rinquest's moved in next to my family when I was about 6 or 7. Randy was always so welcoming and treated me as one of their own with many sleep overs and rides to and from school. I was blessed to have him as a neighbor.

Randy was one of my police academy instructors and a great friend and colleague of my late Uncle John Vermilye, a former Chief of Police in Lakewood. Randy was the legal advisor for the Lakewood PD and told me several funny stories about some of the shenanigans he and my uncle used to do back in the late 70's. I can honestly say that Randy's legal instruction was second to none and after working in law enforcement for the past 16 years, I believe he helped shape me to become the professional that I am today. You are a very special person to me and countless other law enforcement officers throughout the state. RIP Randy.

I will be floating the Grand Canyon on May 19th but want to note my sadness in losing a friend and colleague. Randy and I co-counseled frequently in defending police and I used him often as an expert witness on police and criminal law procedures. His self effacing personality coupled with his academic credentials sold well to juries and I have fond memories of our relationship. I was also born in Nebraska but recovered from it. Again, my condolences.
