He treasured spending time with his daughters, Rilee and Makenna, whohe always toldthat he loved them to the moon and back. Randy was an avid sports fan who could talk sports with anyone, but golf was his passion. He loved the Dallas Cowboys since he was a little boy, and one might say he had a man-crush on Troy Aikman. Some of Randys favorite things:

*Watching his girls play sports

*Star Wars

*Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford another man-crush)

*TheFoo Fighters(Dave Grohl-another man-crush)

Randy and his friends had a wicked sense of humor and many people were the recipients of practical jokes concocted in the basement of his mothers house. Randy was a loving, compassionate father, husband, son, brother and friend. He was loved by many and will be missed by all.
