Randolph and Chuck Arthur were together for forty-seven years. They were married 19 July 2008.

Randolph was a third generation Arizonan who attended Sam Hughes Elementary, Mansfeld Jr. High, Tucson High School, and the University of Arizona.

He was employed in the banking industry in Austin, TX and San Diego, CA in new accounts. He was very successful because of his friendly and caring personality.

Randolph's most loved activities were performing and singing. He was in many productions at Tucson High and the University of Arizona. His baritone voice was sought after in many churches for their choirs and as a soloist. He also sang at many weddings and funerals.

In his retirement Randolph enjoyed entertaining friends on his second story deck surrounded by orchids and flourishing plants in San Diego, CA. His constant companion was Tina, a lilac crowned Amazon parrot, who also enjoyed Randolph's company on the deck.
