Randy’s life began Sept. 30, 1949, in St. Joseph, Michigan. He worked for many years as a Melting Supervisor for Bohn Aluminum. He also worked for Watervliet Paper Mill, Dave’s Amoco and Ridge and Kramer.
Randy loved to tinker on cars and enjoyed using his handyman skills to fix things around the house or help others. When he wasn’t working or helping others he enjoyed going to concerts especially concerts on the bluff in St. Joseph. Randy was the proud “captain” of his fishing boat the SS Minnow on Rush Lake.
