Edward Randolph Obituary

October 24, 1941 - December 14, 2023 In Los Angeles, CA. Son of Willie Randolph and Mildred Medley Randolph. A native of New Orleans, LA.
He is survived by his first wife, Florinda Randolph; children Angella Randolph Onovughe (Reke), and Anthony Randolph; long-time partner Yolanda Afner Troutman; stepsons Christopher & David Troutman; grandchildren Paige Randolph; Joshua (Maria), Justin, and Jordan Onovughe; Kiana, Brandon, & Brenton Curtis, Giovanna Johnson; Katherine Eason; great-grandchildren Alina & Ali Claiborne, and Ezequiel Onovughe.
He is also survived by sisters Diane Neopollion and Carole Harvey; aunt Joyce Heath, and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins from New Orleans.
He is preceded in death by his parents, siblings Douglas, Deborah, & Dennis Randolph, and son Douglas Paul Randolph.
Also mourning his passing are lifelong friends Saulet & Sue.
A carpenter by trade. He was a mathematical genius with a photographic memory. He loved good food and good times, and his Christmas Eve Gumbo parties will be well remembered by all attendees. He loved to be surrounded by his family and friends; the more the better. He loved to visit his native New Orleans to visit family and friends. He was a creative painter. Watching horse racing was his favorite pastime with his friends, and he loved watching his grandsons play soccer and football. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
Arrangements by Lighthouse Memorials & Receptions, Torrance, CA.

Sending condolences to Yolanda and family for their loss of Eddie. He was always so personable and fun-loving! He will be truly missed by all who knew him. I am sure Charles Marquez was up there to greet him and saying, "Oh no! You too!"
