Randy operated his own tile business for nearly 40 years and was an artist in his profession. The beautiful, custom work he did is displayed in many lowcountry homes and businesses.

He had a quick wit, an infectious smile with a twinkle in his eye and a tremendous sense of humor. He easily connected with people and this accounts for the great number of those who love him and will miss him dearly.
