Randy was born on November 22, 1960, in Portage, the son of Franklin and Frances "Fran" (Cross) Kratz. In his younger years Randy was an avid outdoorsman and deer hunter. His favorite pastime was hunting rabbits at his cabin in Winter, WI with his family and beloved beagle, Reba. When he wasn't out hunting, Randy could be found glued to the TV watching sports.

Randy worked many years building beautiful homes alongside his oldest son, Todd. In more recent years Randy worked at Nig's Bar in the Wisconsin Dells as a jack of all trades, master of none. Randy loved to be the life of the party with his sarcastic humor and wit which many people will never forget.
