Albert ROOKER Obituary

ROOKER, Albert Randolph "Randy" RANDY ROOKER Albert Randolph Rooker, 68, of Atlanta, passed away Thursday, November 16, 2017 at his home. He was born October 21, 1949 in Atlanta, Georgia, to Margaret and Albert Raymond Rooker.

Randy's father, mother, and beloved sister Carole Ray Wynn preceded him into heaven. Randy graduated from The Lovett School in Atlanta, Georgia and continued to live there his whole life. His most enjoyment came from golfing, the camaraderie of his large group of friends, travelling which often included a casino trip and his work at the company he founded Atlanta Wheels & Accessories. No one that knew him could deny the presence he commanded in a room. Funeral services will be held Wednesday, November 22 at 1:00pm in the Westview Abbey Chapel at Westview Cemetery.

Jodi, Ray and Stacy.
Randy was an inspiration along with being a kind, smart and intuitive leader. I learned a lot from him and he put me on the road to a lifelong career. I pity the fool that attempts to out bargain this man in Heaven which is where he has truly landed. I and many others will miss him dearly.

Randy and I were friends since the 9th grade. He and I (and a bunch of other Lovett friends) had some wild and great times in high school. Randy's 1965 dark blue GTO remains one of my favorite cars of all time. I was so pleased to see him at our Lovett 50 year reunion and I was so sad to hear of his untimely passing. Randy was a one-of-king guy and obviously had a wonderful impact on his family. He will be missed.

Randy...I thought we had more time. I didn't get the opportunity to tell you thank you...for all the kindness and generosity that you and Jody shared at each and every visit. As we celebrate your life, I know that you will be fondly remembered by all who knew you. Randy, you will be truly missed. You were a good man...and you raised a good man. Your legacy will live on in those you loved and all who loved you. Rest well.

Randy was my only brother in law. Every time I visit I enjoyed his company. He was always there to talk, go to a movie or grab a bit to eat. He was fun loving and a great guy. The world will not be the same without him. I loved him like a brother and will miss him very much. Love you John Robertson.

Randy was a great mentor in business for me. I thought of us being really good friends. He usually had a smile after we would talk about how things where going. I will truly miss the opinions,views,and discussions. I can only hope that someone will remember me with as much admiration, respect, and love. As I do him.

Randy was my only brother in law. Every time I came down to visit Jodi and him I new it was going to be a blast. Randy would always be available to talk,go to a movie or out to eat. I found him to be a fun loving and all round great guy. He always found time to talk to you no matter how busy he was. Atlanta will not be the same for me since he is gone. I loved him like he was my own brother. I will miss his humor and thought provoking views of our world and it's problems. He no longer has to worry about it now for he is with Our Lord and Savior. Randy it was an honor knowing you in this life and we will meet in the here and after. Love you brother John Robertson
