Randal and Joyce were the truest example of childhood sweethearts, having met and fallen in love in the first grade. When they were in grade school, she would often share her ice cream with him, an expression of selflessness which characterized their 66 years of marriage.
They married in 1958 and soon welcomed their daughters, Jackie in 1959 and Carol in 1962. When grandchildren came along, Randal loved spending summer weeks with them at Lay Lake, filling their days with fishing, boat rides, and his “far out tales.” Later, when great-grandchildren were born, nothing delighted him more than gathering them at his home and hearing their whistles.
Randal began his career with Winn-Dixie in 1956, working for the company 44 years. He spent much of that time as the manager of the Childersburg store, where he served his customers faithfully and provided many young people their first job.
After retiring from the grocery business, Randal found a new passion in music. He learned to play the guitar, banjo, mandolin, and piano. Some of our happiest memories are of him "pickin' and grinnin'" while keep us laughing with stories from the past.
Above all his greatest joy was his family, and we will miss him deeply.
