On Monday, 18th April, 2011, Randall suffered a heart attack while exploring the beauty of the Serengeti with Joan (his life partner of over 50 years) and four special friends. He died while being airlifted to Nairobi hospital. On Easter Sunday, his family buried his ashes on top of the hill overlooking his beloved home of Greyton.
Randall was a spiritual and ethical giant, and his blog was an exciting way for him to share his wisdom and insights. Unfortunately, before he could share all his thinking with us, his life has been cut short. However, he had written a number of unpublished essays that we will publish on his blog (for those who are interested). We will also publish a selection of the ceremonies he wrote and led for members of his family, and for many special friends. These include wedding ceremonies, naming ceremonies, and easter and christmas meditations. Please feel free to use these in your own personal and family lives - Randall would be honoured and delighted.
We will all miss Randall terribly. He has touched so many of our lives, and offered us such an inspiring yet tangible role model. We hope his insights prove valuable to you in the coming months and years.

ReplyDeleteMy sympathies to all of you who knew him well - I only met Randall once, and know that you must miss him.
ReplyDeleteThe world shifted a little for us on April 18. The whole Morris clan is deeply saddened by this untimely loss. Randall's influence will endure as we recall the role model who affected our lives and who will continue to do so. We will celebrate a life filled with love, tolerance and wisdom.
ReplyDeleteI've only just discovered this now, as we were thinking about a trip to the Western Cape and thinking of visiting old friends and sadly found that we were too late.
