Randy never knew a stranger and those who were blessed to meet him remember his kind nature, humor, and his warm and steady presence.
Randy’s happiest moments were spent with his friends and family, whether that involved watching meteor showers under the night sky, looking for bald eagles along the Mississippi River, or watching hummingbirds in his backyard. Randy’s love for his grandchildren was unmatched and he loved to show his support by going to baseball games, trap shooting competitions, and marching band performances.
