Faith has always been a big part of Randy’s life.  As a young child, Randy was baptized and confirmed at St. Mary’s Cathedral. Randy attended North Platte High School where he graduated with the class of 1971. Following school, Randy went on to work odd jobs until he began employment with Dana Corp in Hastings as Supervisor until the plant closed. He moved to Kearney and North Platte working as a conductor on U.P.R.R. until 2011 when he retired and moved back to Hastings and was able to spend his last three years living with his daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren.

Randy enjoyed watching or playing golf. He was a loving father, grandfather and brother. From a young age, Randy learned the value of hard work. He was quiet but social and often would share much needed advice. Mealtime gatherings have always been a favorite time for Randy, he loved getting together and hearing about everyone’s day. He was incredibly proud of all of his family and he lived to spend time with his grandchildren. Randy could, at times be a little ornery or even stubborn, but deep down he was big hearted and was loved by many.
