He dedicated 30 years of service to Bridgestone Firestone Corp. and retired with honors on May 1, 2014. He was known to his fellow managers and co-workers as “the Cowboy.” Randy was well regarded for his team leadership, enthusiasm, and his ability to bring out the best in those around him.

On May 2, 2007, Randy was united in marriage to Linda Vogel. and they made their home in New Ulm, MN. Randy’s love for God and his family were the center point of his life. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting and fishing with family and friends. He loved his wild adventures out west with his son and often brought others along to share in the fun. Together, Randy and Linda enjoyed their pets, but especially their horses and the time they spent horseback riding and camping together. His horse “Boodie” was particularly near and dear to his heart.

Randy was a jokester and will always be fondly remembered by others for his contagious smile and his ability to make others laugh; as well as his commitment to his faith and family, and his overall love of life!
