Randy was born in Sudbury, ON May 10th, 1947 but spent his youth in Beachburg, ON. He graduated from St. Lawrence College in 1971 with a diploma in Mechanical Engineering. His distinguished career as a Project Estimator in the mining industry allowed him the opportunity to work across North America and internationally; taking him to places like Bahrain, Chile, New Zealand and Peru.

Randy was an accomplished computer hobbyist building several personal computers over the years. He had a keen interest in politics that always spurred lively conversation. Randy was an extremely hard worker that believed that the key to life was knowing your limitations and trying to overcome them. He also believed that one shouldn’t worry about things you have no control over and always look to the future.
The family would like to express sincere gratitude to the health care professionals that supported Randy over the last few years especially Dr. Jennifer Becker, Meghan Crozier, Stephanie Knox, Renfrew Victoria Hospital staff in Emergency, Oncology, 2nd floor staff and Dr. Noreen Wang.
