Randy dearly loved his son Jake and was one of his biggest fans.  He was so proud of him and his many accomplishments.  Randy was always in attendance at Jake’s basketball and lacrosse games, and he coached his CYC basketball team.  One of Randy’s favorite memories was when Jake and he attended the NCAA Men’s Final Four.
