Dear Ken and Beth,

My deepest condolences, I am so sorry for your loss.

I have known Randall because I have a tattoo shop on the block next to Atomic Cafe. I would see Randall in the neighborhood and when I visited his bar. He was always so sweet and considerate to myself and my fellow co-workers. We spent today at our shop morning the loss of such a genuine person.

Randall was a well respected business owner in the downtown area, and he will be missed greatly. I pray that you and your family will take some comfort knowing that so many people will always remember how wonderful he was.

You will be in my prayers,

Vanessa Alvarez

and the staff of True Blue Tattoo

I have known Randall as a friend and a business associate for the last five years. When I went through a death in my family a few years ago, he was one of the first people to offer to help me through it. I am saddened and shocked to hear of his passing. I remeber the couple times he came down to my radio show to help me put on "Cover Shows" or "industrial shows". There are no words that I can say to ease your pain. The only thing I can say is "I understand".

If there is anything I can do for your family please let me know. I will miss DJ Randall, and I just wish I could havelent an ear to help him through whatever was troubling him.

He was such a big part of many peoples' lives here in Phoenix. If it wasn't for him, I would not know half my good friends as I met them hanging out at the Atomic Cafe or one of his earlier club ventures. I just wish he realized how important he was to his friends here in Arizona. People were always hoping and starting rumours that he was coming back to open a new club. I know that that is a rare thing.

I have known many DJ's, as I have worked in nightclubs for 14 years, and have never known a DJ or club owner who has brought so many people together as Randall did. I am having a hard time putting into words what I want to say. I am glad I had a chance to become friends with him and know him, and I want to Thank him for letting me and the many others become a part of his life. We will miss him dearly... He did a lot for the Phoenix Underground Scene. He did a lot for the Local band scene and he did a lot for people who were more than just patrons of his bar, but his friends as well!

I'm angry... I'm hurt .. I'm sad... but the bottomline now is things will never be the same. My condolances to his family.

I havent ever met you, and I dont really think I can bring you any comfort but I wanted to tell you how much I empathize with your pain and am hurt by Randall's death. I dont know if he knew it but he was the first person who ever gave me a chance really, he trusted me to send him decent bands and he almost never turned down a show I was bring through... He never questioned my ability, called me unprofessional or told me to give up.. He never gave me hassles for my age or gender and he always treated me like an equal. When I didnt come down last time I was invited I never thought I might not see him again, I guess we take things for granted, but he was really a decent person and a good friend, I wont ever forget the support he gave me... and I'll miss him...there isnt much else I can say

I heard a few hours ago. I send my deepest sympathies. God, I have no idea what to say..... We are all gonna miss Randall so much. It was hard enough when he left Phoenix. He was a big part of my younger life, I'll always remember him fondly. I hope you are all able to remember the happiness he brought to so many other people's lives. It may not seem to be such a big deal to run a club, but it really adds to the memories I have of my late teeenage years. My friends and I used to go to ALL of the clubs he worked at or ran or whatever. I spent quite a bit of time tonight reminiscing about the old OUT OF WATER days. We are all gonna miss him so much and we will always appreciate how hard he worked on giving us a good safe place to go hang out and have a good time. Please know that you raised an exceptional son and human being. My prayers are for you all tonight.

Sincerely,

Angela Rose

We have been taught that death is not the end but only the beginning of a new life dimension. How hard it must be for two loving parents to try and put those thoughts in the foreground of their mind when the " death" is that of their own child. Only God can give life and only God can take life.he gave you a wonderful little soul to cherish, love, and to nourish into manhood. A son to be very proud of, a brother to adore. You were there for Randall his entire life, from the bruised knees after his first bike fall to his bruised heart after his first teenage love crisis. You and Ken were there, like you were there for Gary, when he was a student at Shadow Mountain High School, and like you were there for Stephen when we could not be with him to offer guidances and strength. Although Randall's life as we know it on earth has come to an end,his mission that way laid out for him 34 years ago has not ended. Randall will continue forever to be part of your family. Cecilia and I are proud to say that he will always remain in our thoughts and prayers and a part of the Belch family as well.

>If there is anything we can do, please do not hesitate to call.

>With all our love.....Cecilia and Gary

Have a good day and stay happy !! Gary and Cecilia

Dear Mr. Goodwin:

I was an avid supporter of your son's clubs from the Source until the Atomic Cafe. He and I had shared many laughs throughout those years. He, Rick, and Nam had made me feel like a part of their Atomic family, which I felt as a very proud member. If it had not been for your son, I would have had not outlet for my musical interests or my dance floor hogging. I will very much miss him as a friend and the brother I wish he'd been. He made me feel very important for helping support his club here and made it easy for me to want to drive and hour and a half from Cottonwood every week to be a part of that which he made special. I am very sad to lose such an important influence to my life and I can only wish you my deepest sympathies and comfort at this time.

Please feel free to contact me,

Dear Ken & Beth,

The shock is still too fresh. My heart felt condolences go out to you and his loved ones. Words can in no way describe the loss that we feel. Randall was a very good man. The care he had for people was very evident. I must describe our birthday seen at the Atomic to let you in on his caring nature. As we both celebrated our birthday we were being forced by peer pressure to over indulge. He came up to us and wrapped his arms around both of us smiled and said "A real friend would not force you to drink that, don't drink it" and walked away. A caring man he was. Not of many words but he let you know how he felt. He treated people as he would want to be treated. He made his establishment feel like a home away from home for many. With that said I'll say that he will be missed enormously. Our prayers go out to you and his loved ones. Please contact us as soon as arrangements have been made. Please feel free to contact us if you need anything at all.

On behalf of the band SMP, I want to send you our deepest, dearest condolences. Randall had a huge impact on so many people across the country...I want you to know the level of respect so many of us had for him. People as respectable and dependable as Randall are few and far between. We have always been thankful for Randall's presence as a good businessman, and a good person. Our thoughts and hope are with you during this time of recovery.

I wish to extend my sorrow to the family of Randall Goodwin. I have only known your son for about a year now, but I will never forget the kindness that he extended to me and my friends, and my bandmates. To play a gig at The Atomic was an honor, and to be known at The Atomic as "special" or "VIP" was also an honor. I will never forget your son, and I hope that wherever he is now - that he is at peace and he is happy. I have extended my hand to the employees at the club, offering my help in any way that I can.

If there is anything I can do, please don't hesitate to ask.

 I CANT EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW DISTURBED WE ALL ARE BY THIS TRAGIC PASSING OF WHAT MANY CONSIDERED TO BE A WONDERFUL PERSON CLUB OWNER AND NOT TO FORGET A FRIEND TO MANY. I WILL NEVER FORGET HOW KIND AND GENEROUS RANDALL WAS TO US ALL. NO ONE WAS AN ENEMY TO HIM HE LIKED EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU AND IF HE DIDN'T HE WOULD STILL TREAT YOU LIKE NUMBER ONE. I PLAY DRUMS IN TERMINAL 46 AND I CAN'T EXPRESS ENOUGH ABOUT HOW QUICK HE TOOK A LIKING TO US ALL THAT IS RARE BECAUSE WE ARE A RARE BREED AND THAT IS SOMETHING I AND THE (BANDS HE SUPPORTED) WILL EVER FORGET. MAY GOD REST HIS SOUL. RANDALL YOU WILL BE MISSED BY MANY.

YOUR FRIEND,

I knew Randall when he owned the Atomic Cafe in Scottsdale. I was a "regular" as were many of my friends. I knew him since about 1993-94. I heard of this tragedy from a friend who lives in Texas. I am very sorry for your loss. I would like to pay my respects if there is a service or memorial in AZ. I never really got to talk to you or your wife, but I had seen you both around Atomic several times over the years. Please take care.

 Dear Mr. and Mrs. Goodwin,

Please accept my deepest condolences. No words can express the loss we all feel right now.

Randall was a wonderful guy and very vital influence on all of us in Phoenix scene. He has significantly impacted and touched numerous lives, even across the ocean, in faraway Bosnia. Like all of us here, my friends in Bosnia will be devastated to hear about this tremendous loss.

Again, I'm deeply sorry about your loss. We all loved him. He will be missed.

With Sympathy,

Naida

Ken and Beth,

How can I possibly express in words the amount of grief I feel over the sudden loss of my friend Randall? I was given this news the morning after and have since been a mess. Your son had so many friends here, and I'm sure he must have made just as many in Austin also. This place has never been the same since Atomic closed. I first started going when I moved here in 1995 and most of the friends I've made here have been through Randall's club...he was certainly amongst the more genuine friends at that. Nobody can ever be prepared for a tragedy such as this Randall was a great friend and I feel so lucky to have known him. I will never forget that warm, contagious smile and enduring sense of humor. To many of us, he was a brother just as much as a friend. Ken and Beth, I have met both of you on several occasions and it was always so apparent how proud and adoring you were of your son. There is so much more I can say, but you already know how much he was and still is loved. I am unspeakably devastated over the reality of this, and my heart goes out to both of you and to the rest of your family. I hope that at least a little comfort will come from knowing that the memory of Randall will always be embraced and appreciated by those of us who were fortunate enough to get to know him. I will miss my friend dearly....

Love Trisha Bora

I don't know what to say, I'm sitting hear trying to make some sense of what has happened but all I can do is feel like part of me is missing...Randall is one of the most amazing people I know, and to hear that he will no longer be a part of our lives makes me very sad. I went through this several years ago when my brother John was killed, so I know what you are going through. Why do these things happen? The first thing that I thought when I heard was not Randall, not him- he always had the biggest smile on his face. He has played such an important role in the lives of many, people who will tell you there is no better person. I for one have benefited from Randall's friendship. Ken, Beth I am so sorry You and your family will be in my prayers. Please write back

with any info.

Love, Trevor Askew and all with N17

Dear Ken and Beth:

I was shocked to hear of Randalls passing. I was a regular back in the Scottsdale days and Atomic was the first place our group L.V.X. Occulta played. He even let us come out to Texas as well. He was incredibly fair and kind. I remember when I asked if I could play he just shook my hand and said yes. He had never heard us but he trusted me as a friend. That doesn't happen in this business. He always gave us more money then we asked for. We were sad when he left Scottsdale. I have never found a place since, that felt as friendly as the Atomic. From me and all of L.V.X. our deepest sympathies. We will truly miss him.

Ken & Beth,

I was truly shocked and my heart sank when I heard the news about Randall. He was such a wonderful person and friend to everyone who frequented the Atomic, here in Phoenix. There were so many of us that practically lived here...it was a comfortable, safe place where we could go and just be ourselves...all thanks to Randall. We all hoped he would return to Phoenix at some time in the future and re-open the club. From our birthdays to every holiday throughout the year, we flocked to Atomic for our celebrations. Randall allowed us the freedom to express ourselves without being judged and gave us a place to go when no one else would. My best friend and I used to drive him crazy at the club with our requests...he'd just smile...that sly little grin of his, and say, "Okay, I'll see what I can do." I even took my teenage children to the club, on a Sunday night once, so they could see where it was I went to and talked about all the time...Randall welcomed them and made them feel just as comfortable as everyone else about being there. Your son was a very special person and I'm sure that was all due to the type of people you are. I met both of you in the early days, when Randall had a club inside a warehouse downtown... you sat in the back of the club and sold soda from an ice chest...how cool was that? This is such a tragic loss for everyone who knew Randall. It is unfortunate he didn't know just how many people truly cared and how many lives he affected in such a positive way...perhaps he knows now and can carry that with him on his journey. Please know that my thoughts are with you, and though Randall is no longer with us, he will never be forgotten...

Blessed Be,

Paula Olson
