After high school, Randy joined the United States Navy and served his country faithfully until his honorable discharge, with a pride for our country that carried into all his adult years. He was truly patriotic. Randy worked as a paramedic for the Chicago Fire Department in Chicago, Illinois, until his retirement, when he and Becky relocated to Arizona. Randy loved all things electronic and literally connected his entire house so that you could command it to do whatever you wanted!

He loved teaching others how to hunt for scorpions in his backyard, using black lights and other gear, and then terrorizing them with whatever he could catch in the cages! He enjoyed getting everyone involved in playing virtual reality games, and of course, he loved his recliner and watching 24-hour news.

Randy was a generous person with a heart full of love. He adored his wife and family and was a gracious host when many family members visited them in Arizona. He will be deeply and heartfelt missed.
