Richard Stewart Randall, age 71, of Clancy, permanently joined the Church of Eternal Enjoyment, on July 29, 2016, after a long battle with cancer. Richard was at his beautiful home surrounded by his family and close friends.
Richard was born on May 17, 1945, in Portland Oregon. He graduated from San Dieguito High School in Encinitas, California. He attended Palomar College in San Marcus, California, and then joined the United States Navy Submarine Service in 1965. Richard was stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. While in Hawaii, he attended and graduated from the University of Hawaii. Richard received an Honorable Discharge from the Navy in 1970. He then began working in the oil industry in Alaska, which lead to a long career in the explosives industry. His business ventures took him to many locations around the world. Throughout his career, he forged many lifelong friendships. Richard retired from worldwide operations at Orica USA in March 2014.
Richard married Julianne Eaton on January 30, 1995, in Salt Lake City. Richard and Julianne lived in Salt Lake City for four and a half years before settling in the mountains in Clancy, Montana, where they enjoyed many Montana adventures, including riding their side-by-sides in the mountains and spending time with their many close friends. Richard was known far and wide for his creative humor and there is virtually no one that was left untouched by one of his special jokes or pranks.

I just saw that Richard is gone. I have known him since 1977. Met him in Afton, Wyoming at the Silver stream restaurant. We were on again off again friends and lovers through the years. Seemed we could never get it right. I am thankful he was not alone in death. He helped me many times when I was struggling. He will be missed.

I was Richard’s APM with H&R for almost two years in Cody WY. It was a wet cruise, and we laughed a LOT. God speed, Richard.
