John Robert Randall

John "Pop" Robert Randall, age 77, of Addison, New York, went to be with his Lord on Thursday, August 7, 2025, at his home with his family by his side. He was born on December 8, 1947, in Corning, New York, to Merle (Isabell Brown) Randall. John was a 1967 graduate of Addison High School. He married Pamela Randall (Allen) on April 4, 2009.
He was employed for many years with Moody's Blacktopping and Cardinale's Tree Service and was a tree surgeon and concrete mason.
John became an ordained Mennonite pastor and served at the Jesus Church in the 1980s. He was also the pastor of the Northern Riders. His strong faith opened many doors for him to share Gods word through officiating countless weddings and funerals. John believed deeply in helping others and giving back to his community.
John will be remembered as an amazing husband, father and grandfather. He dedicated an unmatched amount of time to Addison Cinderella and Addison Little League. He coached, cared for the grounds, and umpired what felt like a million pitches on the Little League field, leaving a lasting impact on generations of Addison young athletes. He also coached for TWAC Wrestling for many years. In recognition of his contributions to wrestling, track, and his unwavering commitment to coaching the youth of Addison, he was inducted into the Addison Sports Hall of Fame in 2012.
An avid outdoorsman and hunter, John had a passion to share his knowledge and love of hunting with others. He also enjoyed motorcycle rides and was a proud member of the Northern Riders.
He is survived by his loving wife, Pam Randall; two children: Sheri (Josh) Allen of Addison and Cindi (Mike) Benjamin of Addison; two stepchildren: John Mazzga of Addison and Lora Hoose of Bath. He was a proud grandfather to eight grandchildren: Nichole (Christopher) Hyjek, Bradley (Kaitlyn) Randall, Jordan Allen, Gehrig (Morgan) Allen, Michael (Kelsey) Benjamin, Isabella (Gio) Benjamin, Craig Mazzga, and Katlyn Hoose; and four great-grandchildren: Ava Dininny, Gracelynn Randall, Owen Randall, and Mantle Hyjek.
