Friends of the Family have thanked the many
members of ElvisMatters who prayed for Boots
Randolph, his wife of almost 60 years Dee
Randolph, son Randy Randolph and daughter Linda
O�Neal, and four grandchildren. A memorial
service for the legendary saxophonist was held
Friday at the Anderson-Garrett Funeral Home,
350l Old Clarksville Highway in Joelton. In lieu
of flowers, the family requested that donations
be made to: The Boots Randolph Scholarship Fund
/Blair School of Music, U.S. Bank, 600 South
Main Street, Goodlettsville, TN 37072; or to:
Forest Grove United Methodist Church, 7982
Whites Creek Pike, Joelton, TN 37080.
Among the many reactions to Boots�s death, this
one stands out. Bob Moore remembered Boots.
Randolph as someone who would pitch in where
needed. At the same time, he said, �If you
didn�t watch out, Boots would become the star,
it didn�t matter who he was playing with. I�ve
always said that, as the bass player, I have the
best seat in the house,� Moore explained. �I
stood right behind Elvis and I stood right
behind Tammy. No matter who I was playing with,
I�d look out at the crowd and could always tell
by the looks on people�s faces when Boots would
take his turn at the center of the stage. He
knocked them out every time. And when he would
step back to the side, they would still be
watching him.�
