He graduated from Bennett High School and went on to also graduate from University of Wisconsin-Platteville. Randy was a rural US Mail Carrier since 2002 and a life-long farmer. He was the Commander of the Sons of the American Legion and a member of Bennett's Peace Church of Christ United. Randy took great pride in watching all four of his children compete in athletics at Tipton. The only thing he cherished more than watching his kids compete is when he became a Grandfather. Every time one of the grandkids walked into the room Randy would just beam that smile that everyone who knew Randy knows. Randy was a loving son, brother, husband, father and grandfather and will be greatly missed. Whether it was one of his little one liner jokes or the tootsie roll he handed out to just about anyone he walked by. He will be missed, but never forgotten. Randy is survived by his mother, Nadine Lafrenz of Bennett; wife, Karen Lafrenz of Bennett; daughter, Melissa (Scott) Wubben of North Liberty, Iowa; sons, Matthew (Brooke) Lafrenz of Nauvoo, Ill., Michael Lafrenz and his fiancé
