Randy is the owner of Randy’s Place in Sheridan. He was a real prankster and he always had a joke to tell, or some kind of remark that he was always ready to share. Randy loved being outdoors and had enjoyed hunting and mowing his ten acres of yard. He also enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and giving them rides on his golf cart. Some of Randy’s other interests included playing darts, watching his pool teams play, listening to country music, and watching his favorite television programs. Randy was a member of the Trinity Lutheran Church in Waupaca.
