Randy was raised in Utah until his family relocated to San Jose, California where he lived until joining the Marines at age 17. After boot camp he was promptly sent overseas to fight in Vietnam. Upon returning home, Randy reenlisted and made the military his career. During his military service Randy held various leadership positions and earned top honors and recognition. He later transitioned into recruiting and achieved the distinction as the 2nd Highest Recruiter in the nation. After several decades of dedicated service he retired honorably and went into Civil Service. Randy chose to always work with people. One of his greatest gifts was the ability to relate to and reach out to others. He had a wry sense of humor and a real talent for making others laugh, and laughing at himself. He always had a good joke or funny story to tell. Randy was well-known as the Candyman. He was never without a piece of candy to hand to someone to make them smile. It was his way of spreading goodwill. Stranger or friend, he always left you feeling better for crossing paths.
