After graduating from Logan High School, Logan, W.Va., in 1963, Randell joined the United States Navy. During his time in the military, Randell worked in communications and served in the Vietnam War. After being honorably discharged, he moved back to North Manchester, to start his civilian life.

On June 25, 1965, Randell married Rachel E. Penrod. Together the two started their own big family with five children. To support the family, Randell worked at Ford Meter Box for 38 years before retiring in 2008. Randell was also a pastor in the United Methodist Churches for 15 years before retiring. He remained a Lay Leader and received his greatest joy from teaching Sunday chool. He coached his son’s baseball team, and he had a huge heart and was someone people could always count on.

Randell relished in reading, book collecting, writing, history, watching the Cubs, Bears, and Butler Bulldogs and appreciating his black coffee. He also enjoyed watching Gunsmoke and other old Western shows and movies, especially anything featuring John Wayne. Randell was a member of the United Methodist Church, North Manchester, the American Legion and a bowling league for Ford Meter Box.
