Anybody who knew him learned humor, wisdom and laughter through Randy. He was never one to turn down anybody who needed help. He was a dedicated husband and loving father who could not be matched. From his father, he gained the knowledge of restoring cars and absolutely loved working with him on projects. He was a handyman who took on any project that was presented to him. He loved fishing and spending time outside. He was given a gift of a green thumb from his grandmother and enjoyed organizing the flowers and landscaping every spring. The past few years of traveling to Florida were some of his favorite trips. His memory will remain in the hearts of all who knew him. His boys are blessed to have had the time learning all that he could give them, in the time he had with them.
