Randy married Mary Eileen Syfert on February 15, 1958. She was born June 18, 1939 in Boerne, TX. They met at USAA, which was at that time not the giant corporate farm they've made it into. My father says he was tired of commuting to see her in Boerne where she still lived with her father Guy Syfert (a handyman of sorts) and so he asked her to marry him. They lived in numerous houses around San Antonio, including one on Sussex. I hear much about this house!
40Randy retired as the Director of Purchasing of VIA Metropolitan Transit System. My parents live in San Antonio in the same house they have had for the last 27 years-- 714 Beryl Dr. across from a Catholic Church.

He was an airman from 1958 to 1962 and was stationed in Turkey and Crete as a Bulgarian linguist. He was an avid chess player and enjoyed time at the San Antonio chess club for many years. He earned a Bachelors Degree in Economics from St. Mary's University. He retired from Via Metropolitan Transit as the Director of Purchasing in 1996. Freddy loved animals and always had many pets. He loved books and reading and counted book binding among his hobbies. He played guitar and sang and wrote poetry. His humor was infectious and he never forgot a name. He will be greatly missed. The family has chosen to honor his wishes by enjoying a private celebration of his life with friends and family. No visitation or services will be held.
