LODI-Edson “Randy” Luther Randall (the fourth), beloved husband, father, grandfather and brother passed away Tuesday, March 13, 2018. He was born on January 5, 1947 in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, the son of Edson Luther Randall (the third) and Dorothy Randall. Edson graduated from Burlington High School and worked as a professional CAD drafter and contractor, retiring from Springfield Welding in 2016 – one of his most memorable projects and designs being the Monona Sails located at the corner of Monona Dr. and Broadway in Monona.
Ed enjoyed spending time with his family, his friends and his pets. He loved the outdoors, boating on Lake Wisconsin, the Green Bay Packers and listening to music (preferably Bob Seger). He always had a smile on his face and brightened any room that he walked into.

Ed was the kind of person who always had a smile on his face. He was kind, personable, and full of joy. I loved to see Ed around town. He always had time to say hi. He even called down to me to say hi and tell me what cute puppies I had. He suggested that we get Jackson to meet them. I liked Ed. He was a likable man. He will be missed! Tony and Carol Kleinfeldt

Ed was an amazing brother-in-law. Ed was a part of our family from the time I was a very small kid growing up. I always wanted to hang out around him and my siblings who were older than me. Ed was such a large presence (physically and personality wise) and had the hugest heart! He always had a smile, a huge laugh, and a hug to give you. Ed and Carol took me in when I moved down to Dane from Conover in order to start my "adult" life and I'll always appreciate them for that. Ed has left a huge void in all out lives, but he'll live on in our memories made with him. I will always love my brother-in-law "Eduardo"!!!
