After his service, Randy was a former Gilmore City Police Officer and worked as a corrections officer for the Fort Dodge Prison. On July 23, 2008, Randy was united in marriage to Jill Louise Grause in Gilmore City, Iowa. The best part of his early life was his love and devotion to raising his daughter, Christina. Later in life he spent countless hours fishing and camping with his wife Jill and the family they created together, whom he loved to prepare meals for. In his spare time you could find him tinkering with cars and gardening. He loved going to auctions with his dad and blaming each other for their purchases. He also took great pride that he was in the Marine Corps following in his father’s footsteps and sharing stories with everyone he encountered.
