Music was an important part of his life and a special bond he shared with many people that loved him within this community. Before moving to Lake Elsinore, Randy recently spent time with his father in New Baden, Illinois where he, once again, made several friends in town. He particularly enjoyed playing cards every morning with his dad at the civic center and looked forward to joining in the days’ topic of conversation. He occasionally joined his father to deliver meals to seniors in the surrounding communities. He loved spending time with his Uncle Jerry and Aunt Brenda and attending Wesclin High basketball games. To his family and friends who knew him well, Randy was kind, funny, quick witted, good natured, intelligent, generous and loving. He was interested in a wide variety of subjects and was admired for his ability to speak intelligently on the topics that were important to him, due to his love of learning and curiosity about the world.
