Patient, kind, and hard-working, Randall L. Kleinheksel, lived a life rich in family, faith, and friends. Naturally good-natured, Randy was consistently pleasant. He listened with empathy and recognized the gift in each moment. His warm heart and steadfast calm provided safe harbor for others, welcoming every person just as they were and reflecting their enoughness at every turn. A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, Randy inspired all who were blessed to know him. Cherished by many, Randy will long be remembered and ever so missed.
1947 proved a year of continued celebration of the nation’s momentous victory in World War II. America’s heroes eagerly returned home to a country filled with renewed spirit and hope, ready to claim their share of the American Dream, which they fought so proudly for overseas. As American prosperity grew like no time in our history hope sprang eternal, and the Greatest Generation soon proliferated, creating the age of the Baby Boomers. In Holland, Michigan, the cause for celebration grew even greater for Julius and Serena Kleinheksel as they welcomed their son Randy into their family on November 4.
