MATTHEW P. RANDY

MATTHEW P. RANDY JERICHO - Matthew Peter Randy, 32, passed away on Friday, May 21, 2010. He was born in Plattsburgh, N.Y. on Aug. 25, 1977, son of Jeannette (Dalfonzo) Randy and the late Harry Randy. Matt graduated from Chazy Central Rural School and the University of Rochester (class of 2001) with a Bachelor of Arts in Medieval History. Matthew married Casey McMains on Aug. 22, 2005, in Louisville, Ky. Matt spent his life sharing his knowledge, experience, and humor with others. Regardless of the demands on his time, he always found a way to make the day better for everyone around him. Whether it be helping a customer get a Vermont Teddy Bear to a loved one at the last minute, or teaching someone a new game with passion and enthusiasm, Matt was always positive and wanted things to be positive for those he touched. Matt encouraged his friends and family to excel, and did all he could to support their goals, however lofty. He was a blacksmith, a painter, a glass-blower. He crafted a suit of chain mail, had his own line of distinctive glassware, and created a measuring device now used by tabletop gamers around the world. He was a builder, an artist, a teacher and a storyteller. He will be missed by his family and the many friends he made through out the country. He is survived by his loving wife, Casey McMains of Jericho; his mother, Jeannette (Dalfonzo) Randy of Williston; his brother, Michael Randy of Winooski; his mother-in-law and father-in-law, Catherine and William McMains of Jericho; many aunts, uncles and cousins; countless friends across the globe; his three cats, Nimue, Fergus, Mowgli; and his dog, Viktor Pendrake.
