Randy enjoyed fishing and hunting. Every year he would have the Annual Peterie Fish Fry at the Peterie Farm in Collins, Missouri on the 2nd Saturday of September. He and his buddy Tim Tadlock would fish all year to ensure there was enough fish for all the family and friends of St. Claire County.

We would say grace with gratitude for our Soldiers, Country and our Freedoms. An old-time country band always played in the barn as we ate and visited in fellowship.
