He lived all over the country including, Arizona, Idaho, Florida, and Texas to name a few, and indeed all
over the world. At one point he lived in Haiti and Brazil and spoke fluent Portuguese.
He proudly served in the US Navy which took him to more wonderous places on his journey including
Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Alaska. He was honorably discharged in 1968.
He enjoyed being in new places and loved to travel with his beloved wife Irene. Their favorite vacation
was their honeymoon in Ixtapa Zihuantanejo, Mexico and to McCall, Idaho with their daughter Monique.
Dan was an experienced and skilled outdoorsman, hunter, and fisherman. He would tell you that if you
put him near any body of water, he could get a fish out of it. He loved the water. After retirement, he
became an avid golfer. He shared these hobbies with his treasured grandchildren Vanessa and Emmitt.
Dan's biggest joy in life was his cherished wife Irene Grace Randall whom he had been married to for 38
years upon his passing. They had a beautiful love story and words cannot describe the amazing
connection they shared.
He loved his family fiercely. He was best friends with his daughter Monique. He was so proud of his
granddaughter Vanessa and his grandson Emmitt always made him laugh and feel young. He was close
to all his extended family and all his in-laws.
Dan was an avid reader, a movie lover, history buff, amateur ufologist, Ancient Alien enthusiast, chef (he
cooked the best eggs), he wrote beautiful poems, love letters and even an unpublished book or two. He
was a shameless flirt, loved beautiful women and could charm a snake. He was a great dancer,
connoisseur of alcohol (sometimes excessively ha-ha), hysterical joke teller, and suspensive storyteller.
He was confident passionate, funny, stubborn, honest, loyal, handsome, and all-around amazing person
to be around.
Das was preceded in death by his parents James and Tess Randall, his brother James (Jimmy Dale)
Randall, and his favorite uncle and aunt Ken and Nadine Randall.
He is survived by his wife Irene Randall, 3 children: James Randall, Derek Randall, and Monique (Joseph) Goad, 2 grandchildren Vanessa Cordova and Emmitt Goad and 2 sisters Linda Flynn, Dr. Vicki LoPachin and numerous friends and extended family. He is now on his cosmic journey.
