Randy graduated from Lansing Eastern High School in 1966. Following high school, he attended and graduated from both Central Michigan University and Michigan State University. He was a teacher for the Lansing School District for 31 years and a substitute teacher in East Lansing for 15 years. Randy loved music, good food and had a great sense of humor - always succeeding in getting a chuckle out of somebody. He will be deeply missed and loved by all who knew him.
Randy was the beloved husband of Pamela Gilman; loving father of Andrew Gilman and Emily (David) Vaderzwaag; stepfather of Jackie (Mike) Smith; cherished grandfather of Michael (McKenzie) Smith and Nichole (Cory) Fisher; and brother of Cynthia Gilman.
A memorial service for Randy will be held in the spring. Please check Randy’s page for future updates. Memorial contributions may be made to Crossroads Assembly of God in East Lansing or the Animal Placement Bureau.
