John "Randy" Schetky

Oh dear, hearing this news just breaks my heart. I had the pleasure of meeting Randy in the mid-90s while working at a commercial finance company. I could always count on laughing hysterically at some Randy comment. His company wasn´t my best client but sure was my favorite client. He was such a special person who has such a lovely family. My heart goes out to you all for your loss. I have fond memories of spending the day with Linley and the boys at Disney. Randy´s kind heart and...

It's weird to think of this world without Randy in it. I hope the past year has allowed the family to grieve and remember him fully. Whenever I think of him, I see his smile first, and somehow I see him taking this all in stride...bless him.

A favorite Randy memory: Late one night my dog was in a growling match with a nasty opossum. I called Randy for advice, afraid to get in the middle of it. He told me to throw a bucket of water on it, naively I did only to have to run for my life ! When I called him back to tell him it was very bad advice he just chuckled and said he thought it up because he had never seen an opossum on the beach! He could be a rascal.

Randy and I met in 1965 at Bowman's Golf Course in Welches, where our families both had a vacation home on the 17th hole. We were great buddies throughout that formative summer, working in the restaurant at the golf course in the evenings, and playing golf for free during the day. Randy was somewhat shy at that age, but when you got to know him, he loved to laugh...and we did a lot of that! We pretended we were members of the (long since defunct) Professional Putters Association, and spent...

We were friends as children until 6th grade, when my family moved away from Eastmoreland. There are so many good memories of him as a friend, not the least of which were flattening pennies on the rail tracks and stealing golf balls off the fairway at Eastmoreland Golf. Many an after school visit turned into meal with him and his family, as he did with mine. He was a great person.

I also grew up in Eastmoreland and went to Duniway and Cleveland. I am so sad to hear of Randy's death. He was a wonderful, kind and fun man who could be counted on to support and be there for you.

A master of the proverbial wicked sense of humor, and what a superb life companion for my sweet sister.
You will be missed at Christmas dinner. Always enjoyed your great sense of humor.

y sincere sympathies to Linley and all of Randys family and friends. May your happiest memories of him Sustain you now and as time goes by.

Thinking of you, Linley, and remembering darling Randy.
