Randy was a lover of life and never missed an opportunity to spend time with family and friends, we all knew when Randy was around something funny would happen and there would be a lot of laughing! He always greeted everyone with a big hug and his warm smile.
He was the most amazing husband, father and brother anyone could ask for! He loved to share his love of old cars and classic rock music with anyone who would listen!
