sad passing of randy sine

west by goddess · October 7, 2020

known as wv tomato man, he was a giant in my life. a guru of all things tomato and his loss is a communal tragedy. he introduced me to PURPLE DOG CREEK and TREES BOTTOM YELLOW and many, many other varieties. if you knew him, you know what i mean when i say that the tomato world has lost an exceptional gardener and human being.

I am so sorry we have lost yet another exceptional, knowledgeable soul. May heaven surround him with the loveliest of tomatoes and flowers.

Sorry to hear this.
His Evil Jalapeno has been on my list of peppers to grow.

I'm so sorry, being from WV myself I used to follow his posts on here and take his advice. Seemed like a great guy.....

Wow - I got to meet Randy a few years ago at an event I was speaking at - it was wonderful, as always, to meet a fellow tomato enthusiast. I found the Obit - very little info. Was it unexpected or sudden? I hadn't heard from him in some time.

So sad. Thanks for sharing the news.
