Randall (Randy) Spalasso, a man of unwavering courage and love, passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his loving family on February 15, 2026, at the age of 68. Randy was a beloved husband, father, proud Nonno, brother, uncle, and friend.
Born in Oakland on June 26, 1957, to John and Carla Spalasso, Randy was a lifelong Bay Area resident. He married the love of his life, Anne, in 1989 and together they built a beautiful life and home in Livermore where they shared 36 years.
He is preceded in death by his parents, John and Carla Spalasso, and his son, Adam Randall Spalasso. He is survived by his spouse, Anne, his sons Joshua (Jody) and Michael (Alexandria), his daughter, Kristina, and his cherished grandchildren: Annalia, Adam, Emily, and Ryann. He is also survived by his sister, Pam (Gary) Badarello, his brother, David (Dolores), his nephews: Jeff (Andrea), Joe (Lindsay), Anthony, Jason (Vanessa), Kevin and seven great-nephews and nieces.
Randy was a proud student of Sacred Heart School, St. Mary's College High School, and Cal-State East Bay. His professional life reflected his love for his community and his hands-on approach to work. His varietal skills were appreciated by many during his 29+ years at Toscana, Colombo, and Parisian Bakeries which became the San Francisco French Bread Company. After retiring from SFFB, he owned and operated California Covers Automotive Upholstery in Oakland for 20 years, showcasing his business acuity, craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Randy was affectionately known by the neighbors as the "Toolman", he loved working with wood, building cabinets, bookcases, toy boxes, and often helping neighbors with their projects. He was a dedicated fan of the "Oakland" Raiders and enjoyed watching and discussing various forms of racing, including NASCAR, Indy Car, and Formula 1.
In 2018, Randy was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. His determination and resilience were evident as he navigated through his journey with the disease, losing 60lbs and enduring a multitude of tests to qualify for a double-lung transplant at Stanford Medical Center in 2020. His involvement in the Pulmonary Rehabilitation group in Livermore was a testament to his strength, he attended Monday to Friday, unless he was sick, and as much as he received from the program, he provided support and counsel to others facing similar health challenges.
Randy's love for his family was fierce and all-encompassing. His extended family, though not bound by blood, was just as important to him. He will be remembered for his unwavering love, his vibrant and sometimes spicy spirit, and his ceaseless courage.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to The Active Joint, 4738 Chestnut Court, Dublin, CA 94568, in honor of Randy's life and legacy.
Randy's spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
You will Forever be my Always!
