Obituary of Charles Donald Randall

Charles Donald Randall, Sr., 76, of Dumfries, Virginia, passed away on November 13, 2019 in Pembroke Pines, Florida.

Don is survived by his cherished wife of 55 years Barbara, sons Charles, Jr. and Paul, loving daughter-in-law Lauren, and his treasured grandchildren Jonathon, Darren, and Mallory. He is also survived by other brother- and sister-in-laws, and a host of neices and nephews.

Serving in the United States Air Force, Don was stationed in South Korea. It was upon his return home to Homestead Air Force base that he met his wife, Barbara (Cookie).  Don was a fire sprinkler fitter for Advanced Systems of Hollywood for over two decades. He was also a member of Sprinklerfitters Local Union No. 821. He was a man of few words with an enormous heart. He would do anything for his family and would also go above and beyond for friends in need. He was a "second dad" to many in the neighborhood in North Miami. He was an avid fisherman who loved the outdoors, especially fishing trips to the Everglades. Family was first and foremost though, raising his sons and grandchildren to appreciate nature and to care about people. Above all else, his life belonged to his wife who stood with him through it all.

Family and friends will be received at Joseph A. Scarano Stirling Memorial Chapel, 6970 Stirling Road, Hollywood, Florida 33024 on Friday, November 15 from 5-8pm. A memorial mass will be held at the chapel of Saint Maximilian Kolbe Church, 701 North Hiatus Road, Pembroke Pines, FL 33026 on Saturday, November 16 at 9:30a.
