The beautiful park like setting allowed Randy to enjoy nature at it's best, frequently fishing the pond.   On February 23, 1997 Randy and Chris were blessed with a son, Jonathon William. From that moment on Jonathon was Randy's pride, joy and focus. Always supporting Jonathon in all his endeavors.

Serving many years and in many ways in his church (Sugar Grove United Methodist Church), chorus and homeowners association.   Music was a part of everyday. One of Randy's greatest joys was his hobby of barbershop singing. He began singing with his father, Max in the 1980's. Overcoming his fear of performing and going on to entertain many as far away as St. Petersburg, Russia with his pure voice. He sang in both choruses and quartets (most recently Brotherhood of Harmony and Q'd Up), winning medals and was honored with a number of awards for his contributions to the hobby.   Randy was an avid sportsman enjoying fishing,  hunting,  shooting,  biking, hiking, camping and of course playing catch or frisbee with Jonathon. He  was a fan of the Chicago Bears and Chicago Cubs enjoying many games and tailgating experiences with family and friends.   Randy always looked forward to the annual family vacation to Ft.
