Michael Randol Obituary
Michael first moved to Independence in 1974 with his parents, Thomas and Betty Randol. Following graduation from law school, Michael decided to move back to Independence and make it his permanent home. From 2000 until his death, Michael worked at the Macy's store in Independence. To all who knew him, Michael will be remembered for his rare intellect, acerbic wit, professorial command of history, philosophy and current affairs, love of conversation, fine food and drink, impeccable sense of fashion, devotion to hard work, and above all love for family and close friends.
To friends, colleagues and family alike, Michael will be sorely missed.

I am saddened to hear this news! Michael was always such a huge help to me while I was at Macy's. I could always depend on him. I enjoyed his very dry sense of humor accompanied with a twinkle in his eye and that sly smile! Prayers for God's comfort to his family. God's peace to you, Michael!

Working with him, I knew I could go to Michael with any question I had about anything because he was such a wealth of knowledge. I will miss his Hey, Sadi with a wave and a smile. He was always so incredibly witty, and willing to help in any way he could. Lots of love and prayers to the family. Macy's won't be the same without him.

I will miss the way Michael would always come over and greet me when I would be walking past his department or stop and talk to me in the lunch room. He was always so nice and usually had an interesting story to tell. Macy's won't be the same without him.

I so enjoyed conversations with Michael. He was a wealth of information and made my time working in Men's Suits fun. I already miss him.

I will miss the way he would say my last name, in the 15 years I worked with him ,he never called me Sarah. He told me ,my last name reminded him of a song,and it was respectful,and then give me three finger salute and smile. My heart is sadden, I will miss Mr. Michael

Michael will be missed by all of us at Macy's. I knew Michael for almost 10 years. His dry wit, his funny sarcasm, his kindness, his intelligence all played a part in his day to day life. You could ask him anything, he knew so much. If you needed his help he would freely help. You could trust him completely. It just isn't the same without him. Rest in peace, Michael!

No words can be better said than if Michael were to just say them himself. Our hearts and conversation is not the same everyday without him. He is missed in more ways than one. Lots of love and thoughts to the family.
