Obituary for Francis "Ole" B. Randall
Francis Ole Randall, 79, of Bone Lake, WI passed away Thursday, May 21, 2015 at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis after complications of heart surgery.
Ole was born in Barron County, WI at home on August 15, 1935 to William and Rose (Koster) Randall. He attended Blake and Milltown Schools. He married Judy Davidson on December 1, 1956. They resided in Minneapolis, Minnesota where Ole was employed as an auto mechanic.
In 1957, he and Judy purchased her family farm where they operated a dairy farm until 1981. Ole then held various positions such as bus driver for the Luck School District, groundskeeper for the Luck Golf Course and worked at Walmart as a maintenance man.
He loved the outdoors, spending time in the woods: either with a chainsaw or bow and arrow hunting. He went on many fishing trips and could tell some impressive stories! In his later years he cut out and helped children put together 300 bluebird houses every year for the Sportsmans Club, 4-Hs and schools.
You could find Ole at the Oakwood Inn each morning where he would always order one pancake and help his friends solve the worlds problems.
