His favorite car was a 57 Corvette that he owned when he was young. He enjoyed talking about his Dad and Mom. He enjoyed seeing pictures of deer on the deer cameras. Randy loved fishing and looking at bass boats. He talked a lot about the Chiefs team. He watched the Chiefs win the night before he passed away – that meant a lot to him. He enjoyed watching Grady's videos of his basketball games. His favorite thing was seeing clips and games of Gradys basketball. He asked every day about it.
