Randy was known for his dance cruises. He established the format for the cruise, handled bookings, lined up dance instructors and DJs, promoted the cruise through flyers and personal contact with members of the dance community, and made certain that everyone had an enjoyable time on the cruise. Attendance ranged up to nearly 100 people per cruise. During Randy’s leadership years, there were one or two cruises per year, to destinations including the Eastern and Western Caribbean, Alaska with optional overland train trip to Denali, and the Mediterranean for 10 days in Rome, Venice, Barcelona, and Croatia.

Randy was a dance host at retirement dance communities. He took great pride in making the ladies feel young again. He was careful and gentle with them. He often said that he half carried some of them across the floor, making certain they would not injure themselves.

Randy met Amy at a ballroom dance event in Winter Park. They were married in 2015 at the Unity Church in Columbine, Colorado. They shared 11 beautiful years together.
