Randall had a great love of Texas, especially the Hill Country and West Texas. He loved talking about West Texas and would regale you with one of his many stories about the area.

During his research, Randall compiled a book retelling the tales of his storied family and their part in West Texas history and the Texas Rangers. It will be published posthumously.
