In Dad's younger years he attended school in McClave and Lamar, Colorado, this is where he graduated. He emigrated to Canada in 1968, that's when he met the love of his life, Rhonda and they were married for 38 wonderful years. Dad started his business career with a gas station in Lockport, MB. In 1976, Dad along with his father and brother started in the manufacturing business with Kingsman Fireplaces. He became a very accomplished and well respected businessman. Known to customers and suppliers alike for his compassion, enthusiasm and loyalty. Dad's passions in life were football, going to car shows to show off his 1968 Plymouth GTX, and travelling to Scotsdale, AZ for the Barrett Jackson auction. In the summer time, usually you could never catch mom and dad at home as they enjoyed nights out at Pony Corral and the Tavern. Dad loved to meet with the numerous friends they made through the years for cruz night. Dad won many awards at car shows around Manitoba and the U.S.A. Randy affectionately known as Papa to his grand-children, loved them so much. When he spoke of them, there was a sparkle in his eye. He loved spending time with them, you couldn't find a prouder person while watching them in different activities that the kids were involved in. Each one of the kids from babies onwards, had a special place cuddling on or next to Papa, the warmth and security that it provided will never be replaced. The funeral service will be held Saturday, December 19, 2009 with a public viewing at 9:00 a.m. and the service beginning at 10:00 a.m. at Kirkfield Park United Church, 472 Kirkfield St. 837-1017.
