Randy did just about everything at Aggregate, from driving to dispatching to fixing nearly everything. He spent 36 years with Aggregate, and was dedicated to all he did for them. Randy enjoyed going to Farmer Brown’s for a Prime Rib, and was a big fan of both the Chicago Bears and the Kansas City Chiefs.
