Randall was born May 18, 1936, in Union City, TN. He grew up on his parent’s farm, married the love of his life, started a family, and began his career within the building materials industry in TN. In 1969 Randall and his family moved to Charlotte, NC to expand his career as the manager of Dyke Industries. After a 46-year career, Randall retired from Gerald B. Cates & Associates Inc. as a Manufacturer Representative for many building material companies throughout the South East.
Randall's love for Tennessee Walking Horses and taking care of his home was truly inspiring. He cherished moments with loved ones, tending to his lawn, and working on various projects with his family and friends. After a long day, he would relax in his garage, watching over the neighborhood he called home for over 40 years. Everyone was met with a warm smile and friendly chuckle, sending you off with a wave goodbye until you drove out of sight. He will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved him.
