From an early age, Randy gravitated towards the arts; specifically crafting pottery. He became a professional artisan potter and made pottery in Bermuda, New York City and back home. 

Randy had a love for sailing, skiing, cooking, scuba diving and was handy at just about everything- therefore the name "Handy Randy" was born.  His curiosity and search for new ideas never waned.  He was a wealth of knowledge and love he shared with all who knew him.

Randy and Lori have a storybook love story that began at SUNY Fredonia. They went their separate ways after college but reconnected 25 years later, married 8 months after that and their love never died. They were each other's first love. They were puzzle pieces that fit together perfectly. 

Randy was a beloved husband, son, brother, son-in-law, brother-in-law, uncle and a cherished friend to many and will be missed dearly.
