Randy married Robin (Knight) on January 22nd, 1983. He was a loving husband and father, and together they raised three beautiful daughters that grew to be amazing women. (He was such a girl dad.) These girls brought two exceptional Sons-In-Law to his family, and he loved them as his own. 4 cherished grandchildren grew his family and his heart. He loved being BaBaw/Pappy and was happiest spending time with family.

Life was a beautiful adventure for Randy. He loved camping and hiking, sand between his toes at the beach, and a good classic rock album. He could often be found relaxing in his backyard or watching M.A.S.H. reruns with his family and beloved fur baby, Merlin.

Randy’s faith was strong. He was a member of the Frankton Christian Church.
