It is with a heavy heart that we share the sad news that Jeff (JR) Randell, our beloved bearing expert and team member, has passed away from cancer.

As everyone who knew him was well aware, JR was passionate about helping people and building strong relationships with his infectious enthusiasm.  During his eight years at Boca Bearings, JR made significant contributions to our organization and embodied the spirit of dedication, professionalism, and teamwork we strive for every day. He was a pillar in the bearing industry with a knowledge of products, companies, and people that could not be matched. We know that JR touched the lives of many people, both personally and professionally. JR will always be part of the Boca Bearings family, and will forever be remembered. 

During this difficult time, we understand that you may have questions or concerns about how this will impact our business relationship. As the cancer progressed we began to successfully transition his responsibilities to other highly qualified bearing experts within our team. Training, customer service, and teamwork are the core values of Boca Bearings, so we can assure you that there will be no disruption in our ability to support your bearing needs. 

We appreciate your understanding and support as we navigate through this loss. If you would like to honor JR’s memory feel free to make a donation to his preferred cancer-fighting organization, Stand Up to Cancer 

If you have any immediate needs or inquiries, please don't hesitate to reach out to Jonathan Albala who was trained alongside JR at Jonathan@bocabearings.com or at info@bocabearings.com for an immediate response.

Our thoughts and condolences go out to JR's family, loved ones, and customers. 

Thank you for your continued support. 

Sincerely, 

The Boca Bearings Family
