Randy was very artistic and loved all types of music.  He was most inspired by the "Rock music of the 80's" which led to teaching himself how to play the guitar.  He wrote and recorded numerous songs and was a key member of two local rock bands in the 90's and early 2000's.  He was best known as "Randall J" to all of his close friends and fans.  Randy was also an avid collector.  He was very proud of his extensive collections of pins and shot glasses from Hard Rock Cafe`  locations all over the world.

He was a lifetime Dallas Cowboys and New York Yankees fan.  He and his wife, Sandy, loved bowling and bowled in a mixed league at Holiday Bowl for many years.  Randy also enjoyed spending time outdoors, going on camping trips to the mountains, and relaxing by the fire with his family.
