Randy Alton Palmer

Randy A. Palmer passed with his loving family at his side, November 6, 2023 at Huntsville Hospital. He is survived by his wife, Nita Barton Palmer, sister Cynthia Palmer Hunt, husband Mark Hunt, niece Jennifer Hunt Harp, husband Mike Harp, nephew Harley Hunt (Obnoxious) and 2 great nieces, Ashlyn Harp and Ainsley Harp. Randy was preceded in death by his mother, Mary Palmer Karabinos and father, Jim A. Palmer.

Randy and his family moved to Huntsville in 1960. He grew up in the shadow of the Space Race and all the excitement of the technology developments. He never outgrew his love for electronics and gadgets! As one of the original Trekkies, Star Trek and all the spin offs were always close to his heart. All of them!

Randy worked at COLSA for 32 years and received several awards for his dedication. His passion for perfection in his work was admired and respected by all. He had struggled with his illness since 2015.

As an avid lifelong boater, Randy was happiest on the water, surrounded by family and friends. Camping, campfires, good music were his passion.
