For more than 21 years, he worked at the Noland Company (formerly Buck Supply Company) and was an inside sales representative. He will be remembered as a generous and gentle person. He always made himself available to his children and others, and his grandchild, Madison, was the apple of his eye. He was a sports enthusiast who loved the Minnesota Vikings and the Atlanta Braves. A favorite pastime was working on and restoring his 1968 Ford Mustang. He was especially proud of his car. A favorite place to visit was his beach home in Indian Beach that he and his wife, Vanessa, had purchased almost four years ago. Together, they spent many weekends there working on various projects and playing. A loving husband, father, grandfather and brother, Randy will be missed by many friends and loved ones.
