After graduating from Gillett High School in 1975, Randy enlisted in the United States Navy and was selected for the prestigious Navy Nuclear Propulsion Program.

He was also an avid fan of Badger Basketball and Football. In his younger years Randy would take cross-country trips with his motorcycle. He also enjoyed cross-country skiing in his free time.

In 2015, Randy remarried Nancy Buchholz. They had a small service at the historic Devil's River Campground near their home in Denmark, Wisconsin.
