He went to work as a painter for many companies, painting anything from buses, military vehicles, semis, fleets of police vehicles, salt trucks for the Genesee County Road Commission, to his favorite, Monroe Truck Equipment, where he worked for many years. Randy loved spending time with his family, bowling, fishing, golfing and listening to music, especially Michael Jackson.
