Randy had a full and wonderful life, accomplishing so many life altering pursuits and inspiring achievements.

He retired as a Superior Court of Ontario, Family Court Judge where he was admired and respected by so many. In his years as a lawyer, he dedicated his career to advocating for equality in both the public and private sector. He was an avid and gifted athlete, playing multiple sports (and winning), against doubting opponents. He was an actor with McMaster University Theatre Club and co-founded the Hamilton Lawyers’ Show, raising money for children’s charities with fellow lawyers and judges. Randy’s most rewarding facet of his life, was marrying Esmé, his wife of 38 years, the love of his life, and his two accomplished children, Lindsey and Joshua. He had a wide circle of friends and had the best sense of humour.
