Randy was born in Evansville, Indiana on August 17, 1954 to the late Edwin and Cliftia (Woodruff) Housman. He was a 1973 graduate of Central High School. Randy worked for Mead Johnson and later retired from Kenco Logistics in 2016 after over 30 years with the company. He was an active member of Olivet Community Church for over 40 years. Randy loved being outdoors and tending to his garden. He enjoyed sharing the vegetables from his garden with his friends and family. Randy was also an avid Philadelphia Phillies fan and liked woodworking. Most importantly, Randy was an exemplary family man. He was the most supportive husband, father and grandfather.
