Canada’s 2025 Silver Cross Mother, Nancy Payne, says her son, Randy, was always a playful child.
“He was a character,” Payne told The Epoch Times. “He was very funny. He was charming. He was very athletic. He was a busy little boy when he was young. You knew he was around because he was lively. … He always had this big grin on his face and that twinkle in his eye.”
