Randall joined the military at the age of 16 serving in the Navy SeaBees Construction Battalion. He often talked about being on the Kwajalein Island working as a crane operator.
After his military service Randall worked in sales in North Carolina and South Carolina. He retired from Rish Equipment Company in Bridgeport after 33 years working as a mechanic and painter.
After retirement Randall Volunteered at the Veterans Hospital in Clarksburg for many years.
Randall enjoyed listening to country music, collecting wrenches and taking road trips in the mountains with his friends. It was very important to Randall to have an American flag flying from his porch or in his yard.
