Thomas Randele

Thomas Randele, age 73, of Lynnfield died Tuesday, May 18 at his home surrounded by his loving family. Born in Denver, Colorado on July 10, 1947 he was the son of the late Edward and Ruthabeth (Krueger) Randele. "Tom" was raised and educated in Colorado before moving to the east coast and attending New England College. Tom then split his time between Florida and Boston, where he was the Assistant Golf Pro and Teaching Pro at Pembroke Country Club. In the off season he played on the professional winter tour in Florida, eventually transitioning to Manager of Pembroke Country Club full time. He eventually shifted his vocational interests from golf to his second love, cars and began a successful career in luxury automotive sales which spanned nearly 40 years. He had worked at Woburn Foreign Motors, Range Rover, and Volvo until his retirement. He was also an excellent cook who loved watching any and all cooking shows, and enjoyed testing out new recipes on his wife and daughter, always asking "So, can I make this again?" at the end of every meal. Tom leaves behind his beloved wife, Kathy (Mahan) Randele and his cherished daughter, Ashley Randele. He is also survived by his brother-in-law Richard Mahan of Swampscott as well as many extended family members and friends. A memorial service for Tom will be held at the McDonald Funeral Home, 19 Yale Ave., Wakefield on Tuesday, May 25 at 11am. Visitation for relatives and friends will be held prior to the service beginning at 10am.
