He was born on September 16, 1954 in Brooklyn, NY, the son of Earnest and Yvonne (Alberto) Vagle. He married LuAnn Varriano on March 27, 2003.
Randy grew up in the city, eventually settling in Delaware County. While attending farm machinery auctions he built close relationships with area farmers that turned into friendships. He lived his life his way; whether it was right, wrong or indifferent. He was always proud of what he accomplished, while still remaining humble and honorable. He was a hard worker who always put others first. He had hands and a heart of gold. One of his proudest moments was the birth of his children.
Self-taught in refrigeration, electrical, and construction, Randy succeeded in building his own home from the ground up. He shared his life and home with his soulmate, LuAnn, who he was dedicated and devoted to, along with close family and friends.
He enjoyed hunting, building, engine work, camping, was an avid snow skier, water skier, surfer, and enjoyed attending auctions and rebuilding antique cars.
Randy is survived by his loving wife LuAnn; daughter Jackie; son Michael; brothers, Bruce & Denise Vagle, Erik & Michelle Vagle; several grandchildren; and his beloved Norwegian Elkhounds, Nasa and Dora.
