More detail on this person: Joseph J. Randall
Jr. died suddenly in Greensboro, NC Feb 23, 2007.
He is survived by his wife Lee in Greensboro, and
his family in his hometown of Norwood, MA. Joe
served a tour in-country in Vietnam as a grunt
with 1/9 Marines, and after CONUS and OCS and
flight training returned as a CH-46 pilot. After
active duty, he managed to milk the system long
enough flying '53s to gain retirement from USMCR
as a Lieutenant Colonel. Joe was a full-time
Marine and a part-time hippie, a good man who'd
give you his life or the shirt off his back. He
loved the Corps; anything after that was
wandering. His life was the Marine Corps, and his
passion was theoretical physics.
From the Spring 2007 Pop A Smoke.
