Where Caring Is A Family Tradition

Randy graduated from Winnebago Lutheran Academy in 1970. On September 22, 1973, he married Ruth (Bartelt) Hess. Their marriage was blessed with two children, Brian (Shari) Hess and Brenda Toll.

He is also survived by his sister, Robin Hess, Oshkosh; as well as Ruth’s siblings, EstherMarie Leonard, James Bartelt, Lois (Gary) Werner, and John (Pam) Bartelt; and many nieces and nephews.
