A graduate of Bowsher High School, Randy received his Bachelor's Degree from the Ohio State University and his Master's Degree in Music from Eastern Michigan. He was passionate about his music and played in numerous bands around the Toledo area including the Mighty Meaty Swing Kings and Friar Tucks.

Randy had an appreciation for cars, especially old cars- his pride and joy was his 1967 SS Chevelle. He loved to cook, garden and craft. Randy was an avid bowler and softball player and won several softball tournaments with his team. His terrific sense of humor and sarcasm will be missed.
