Randy Fry Obituary

Randy Fry, 55, of West Scranton, formerly of Madison, Wis., died Saturday at home after an illness. His wife of 13 years is the former Lynn Richardson.

Born in Madison, Wis., he was the son of Marge Cords Kerr and the late Ivan Fry. Randy was employed by Allied Services as assistant supervisor of the dorm for the intellectually disabled.

Randy loved his family and, in doing his work, touched so many people making their lives better. He also enjoyed deer hunting and cheering on the Green Bay Packers and the Wisconsin Badgers.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to the Allied Hospice for the wonderful care they provided Randy and the whole family.

Also surviving are sons, Alexander Fry and fiancée, Robyn, Inner Grove Heights, Minn.; Michael Fry and wife, Nicole, Oshkosh, Wis.; and Mark Marioni and partner, Brooke, Madison, Wis.; daughter, Kayla Siciliano and partner, Alisha, Exeter; two sisters, Jill Joles (Robert), Chippewa Falls, Wis.; and Karen Chisholm, Wannakee, Wis.; and his stepdad, Carl Kerr.

It was Randy's wish to be cremated. A celebration of life will be held at a later time in Wisconsin.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Lung Association or to Allied Hospice Care.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the Vanston and James Funeral Home and are under the care and direction of Robert C. Jones, funeral director.
