R.I.P. Randy Jackson, Legionnaire Extraordinaire

The following was posted on Facebook about an hour ago:

"Hey Facebook friends. I'm asking all you prayer warriors out there to please say a prayer for my brother. He has been battling various health problems for a while now, but today he went into cardiac arrest while at a dialysis appointment and had to be revived by CPR. He is currently in stable condition but on a ventilator. Please keep him in your thoughts and let's all send positive healing energy, amen."

Randy's been a long-time member here, going back several iterations of the Board, I've always enjoyed his posts here -  he always has something interesting to say.  I wish him a complete and speedy recovery.

Randy was also a wonderful presence on Twitter -- I was always happy whenever I'd see his posts, or when he'd respond to one of mine.

Unfortunately, I never got the opportunity to meet Randy face-to-face. I I had, I would have asked him the origin of his previous screen name. Anyone know?
