He was a member of the Graettinger American Legion Post #162. Randy was an avid outdoorsman. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, golfing and the anticipation of a Minnesota Viking football game. He loved to go on bike rides with his kids, take drives around the lake, and meet Sarah for a hamburger lunch. His black labs Scout I and II were his best friends.
