He spent over 30 years proudly serving our country. But his greatest lessons came from the special bond with his father. For Colonel Burl Randolph, Jr., leadership began at home as a young boy in the toughest streets of Kansas City, MO. Although the elder Randolph was a man of few words but had great vision, the younger Randolph was molded by his father's actions. And when the decorated, combat-hardened Army officer faced his own retirement, he recalled the heartfelt message his dad told him many years before: "A man ought to always stay busy." Far more than a tribute to his father, Randolph offers a powerful story of the complex relationships between parents and children, and fathers and sons.
