Ronald Randall Obituary

AUGUSTA -- Ronald Joseph Randall, 68, of Augusta, passed away surrounded by his loved ones on Sunday, April 11, 2010, after a brief and courageous battle with cancer.

Ron joined the Maine State Police in March of 1963. He retired as lieutenant in February of 1985.

To Ron's family: I am so sorry to hear about Ron. He was a truly great guy. I was a '59 classmate of Ron's at Cony and worked with him at the Attorney General's office for 20 years. He was a very honorable man and friendly to everyone he encountered.

I am so sorry to hear of Ron's passing.Although it has been many years since we have been in contact, I have thought of you all often...especially those early days when we were new to the State Police family and you were so kind and Ron set such a great example and was an inspiring mentor. He will be missed.
