Passed away on Sunday August 30, 2026. Loving husband of the late Shirley Kotoucek. Randy was born on March 16th, 1950 to the late, Joseph Sr. and Dolores Kotoucek. Dear brother of the late Joseph Jr. (Melba), and Christy Kotoucek. Dear uncle of Clayton (Marsha) and Kris Kotoucek, great uncle of Brennen, Kain, Kathryn, Carolyn and Ryan Kotoucek.

Randy was a creative person and those seeds were sewn before he was even born. His mother Dolores wrote the children’s song I Dreamt I Went With Santa Claus for Randy when she was pregnant with him. Randy used that creativity as an inventor and held multiple packaging patents with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. He was an extra in the movie Planes, Trains & Automobiles appearing in a scene filmed at Lambert Airport. And Randy loved a good joke, especially when it was told by him.
Services; A graveside service will be held at Park Lawn Cemetery on Friday, September 4th at 10AM. A Kutis South County Service.
