                                                A conscientious and passionate farmer Randolph also enjoyed growing watermelons, clay peas, sweet corn, and potatoes in his garden.  He enjoyed fishing trips with family and deer hunting.  He had an enduring wit and humor that accompanied his love to grin and ability to get others to chuckle.  He will be remembered for his example and inspiration that a simple life is a happy one, providing for family is top priority, and that welcoming others is simply just the way to be.
