Randy, also known as Stank, Pappy, Daddio, Papa Smurf, and the Baddest Dad You Ever Had, was a loving father and the ultimate cool guy – a storyteller extraordinaire. He was smart, funny, and always up for a dare. He loved playing golf and darts with his son, singing karaoke, and watching Alabama football (Roll Tide!).
He recently retired from the Anniston Army Depot after 30 years working in IT. Randy will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by his friends and family. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the American Cancer Society.
