Randy was born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. He and his wife Kathy moved to Barefoot Bay in 2013. Randy enjoyed life, family and many friends. Randy was always there to brighten the lives of other with his quick wit and crazy sense of humor. Randy worked for City of Oshkosh Police Department, reaching the rank of Sergeant and Shift Commander for 12 years of the night shift and then 12 years on the day shift where he gained the respect of his co-workers and friends.

He also became a Bailiff for Winnebago Court House.

He had a life-long passion of the water and sailing. After retirement from the police department on 3/15/1992 - Randy took his boat, Seaquest, from Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin to Tarpon Springs, Florida , a 29 day adventure, down the Tombigbee waterway and then 82 hours of Atlantic Ocean sailing from Fairhope, Alabama to Tarpon Springs, Florida. It was his dream come true. He then pursued many sailing adventures to Key West, Dry Tortillas and surrounding areas. Another fun thing he did in Oshkosh and Barefoot Bay was golfing. In Wisconsin he so enjoyed his weekly golf game and lunch afterwards with the boys at Players.
