Loving husband of Barbara K. Randau for 55 years and a devoted father to son Charles “Chad” Randau (Lisa).

Chuck spent over 50 years as a trial lawyer with most of his tenure at the law firm of Sullivan, Ward, Asher & Patton, P.C.

That he was so respected and admired by so many is a great comfort to his family at this time. He will always be in our hearts forever. From your loving wife: The Promise “Across the years I will walk with you- in deep, green forests; on shores of sand: and when our time on earth is through, in heaven, too, you will have my hand.” Robert Sexton A private burial service will be held for the family.
