Randy grew up on an acreage near Bee and graduated from East Butler High School with the Class of 1980. After high school, Randy worked for Northside, Inc., in David City as a propane driver. On Sept. 27, 1986, Randy was united in marriage to Jeanne Machacek, and to this union, two sons were born. Randy’s sense of humor was the reason Jeanne immediately fell in love with him. They have lived on an acreage near Dwight since the day they were married. After 30 years, Randy retired from Goodyear in January of 2022. In his free time, Randy enjoyed mowing lawns, playing pool, driving his Chevelle and Bucket Rod and watching football. He was a Green Bay Packers and Nebraska Cornhuskers fan. Randy also enjoyed traveling with his wife, but his favorite trip was driving on Route 66. He was a former member of the Dwight Volunteer Fire Department, Dwight Rural Fire Board and the Richardson Township Board. Randy loved meeting new people and visiting with the old timers.
