September 1, 2021, age 82, from polycystic kidney disease.
Randy was born in Minneapolis MN and moved to Sunnyvale, CA at the age of 4. He graduated
from Fremont High School in Sunnyvale, CA and attended Foothill Junior College. In 1956, he
joined the Army and was stationed in Babenhausen, Germany until being honorably discharged
in 1959, with the rank of Sergeant. In 1960 Randy began his career in banking with First
Western Bank and then United California Bank. In 1979 Randy was recruited by the newly
established Bank of The Sierra in Porterville, CA, to head up Operations and in 2005, after 26
years, he retired as the Vice President/Manager of the Bank Card Division.
Randy enjoyed dove hunting, fishing, gardening, and numerous trips to his son’s home, June
Loop and the Pacific Coast. He was a member of the Burlingame Exchange Club and taught a
financial class at the Jr. Achievement organization in San Jose.
Randy’s greatest joy was being a loving husband, brother, father, grandfather and uncle. He
especially loved spending time with his life-long friends and delighted in being a “daddy” to his
beloved pets.
Randy is lovingly remembered by his wife, Sandy, of Oceanside, CA and is survived by his
children; Cindy Mahre; Laurie Anderson and her husband, Glenn; Jennifer Velasco and her
husband, Jerry; and Rod Webb. He is also survived by 7 grandchildren and 7 greatgrandchildren and his sisters, Barbara and Cathy (Bill). Randy is preceded in death by his father and
mother, Arthur and Ann Swanson; his sister, Jackie; and his brothers, Robert and Douglas.
At Randy’s request, no service will be held.
