Maids Cleaning Service, water balloon sling shots (not his finest idea....but so Randy), and selling insurance. Insurance was in his blood, following in the footsteps of his grandparents, father, and brothers, and continued to be a big part of his life. Randy was also very committed to the AA program and helping others with their addictions. In 1990, Randy's life changed starting with a Cursillo weekend and then going along with Kelly O'Brien to his first Steubenville Youth Conference. He realized his true passion was serving the Lord and teaching youth about the love and awesomeness of the Lord. He started out as a volunteer youth minister, working into a part time and then full time youth minister with St. Mary's Catholic Church in Spirit Lake. Randy was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimers in September of 2010 when he was 56 years old. His sense of humor and quirkiness remained, which was a tremendous strength and help to his many friends and family throughout the disease until he died on Sunday, May 31, 2015, at the Community Memorial Health Center in Hartley, Iowa. A Memorial Mass will be 4:00 pm on Thursday June 4th at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Spirit Lake. Following the Mass there will be a Celebration of Life and sharing at the VFW. In lieu of flowers memorials may be made in Randy's name to the Gentiva Hospice, RESIPTE Angels or the Hartley Care Center. The Schuchert-Lentz Funeral Home is Spirit Lake is serving the family. Randy will be cherished for his charismatic personality, his willingness to help others, his ODH (obsessive duck hunting), and his ability to make others laugh. One of his dreams (other than Dancing with the Stars), was to be a stand-up comedian. Randy was preceded in death by his niece, Jenny Ricklefs, parents, and grandparents. "Well done, thy good and faithful servant...enter thou into the joy of the Lord." Matthew 25:21
