Surrounded by his family, with his beloved wife Genevieve at his side, Randy passed away 2/1/20 after a brief but courageous battle with cancer.
Randy attended Ward Melville HS and after working 25 years in construction, went back to school and became an LPN. He subsequently was the day supervisor nurse at a UCP group home for the past 10 years where he cared for and loved his "kids".
Randy was a great cook, and a voracious reader. He loved the outdoors, the ocean, stargazing, gardening, and everything to do with nature but, above all else, he loved his family. Randy was patient, friendly, thoughtful and kind, traits we should all aspire to.
He was pre deceased by his father and stepmother Sal and Lynda Nicotra and is survived by his mother and stepfather, Jeannette and John Gabosch, his wife Genevieve (Jean), his sons Nicholas (Gianna) & Tomas, the light of his life, his grandson Mason and his yet unborn granddaughter, his sister Barbara (Larry) Hirsch, his stepsister Jerriann (Steve) Traegeser, stepbrother Dean (Lisa) Collier, his sisters in law Nikki (John) Poulianos, Tina (Bob) Baum, his many loving aunts, uncles and innumerable cousins and nephews. Randy was a beloved son, husband, Opa, brother, uncle, nephew and cousin and will be missed beyond measure by all who knew and loved him.
In lieu of flowers the family requests donations in Randy's memory to the Lung Cancer Research Foundation of NY, Good Shepherd Hospice, or St. Jude's children's hospital.
