He and Deb were also active in church, they led worship together, were youth group leaders, and he was also on the board and served as Treasure for a time.

Randy had no greater pride and joy than this two grandchildren, Lexie & Luke, nothing gave him more joy then watching them play sports or just spending time with them.
