Randy Pineau's Memorial Fund

Randy Pineau was a son to the late Albert and Patricia Pineau, a loving husband to Katherine Pineau, an outstanding father to three boys Ryan (27), Connor (23) and Cory (20), and a friend to so, so many. He was born on October 27th, 1964, and passed Tuesday evening in a tragic boating accident on July 11th, 2017 at the age of 52.

During the early stages of Randy's life, he served in the Navy for four years fixing tactical air navigation systems on military aircraft stationed at Oceana, Virginia Beach, VA and NAS Norfolk, VA. It was during this part of his life that he met Katherine, his soon-to-be wife and life-long love.

After Randy's days in the Navy, he moved back to his home state of Connecticut where he later married Katherine and they started a family together, having three beautiful sons. They were very proactive in raising their children. Randy shared his passion of computers, photography, cars, and countless other hobbies with the boys, keeping them very involved in extra-curricular activities like baseball, karate, cub scouts, and boy scouts.

Randy was truly one of a kind. Those who knew him had their hearts touched by him in so many ways, he was selfless and lived to create happiness for everyone he knew and loved. He championed Katherine's dream of owning a deli, and could often be found brewing coffee or making hundreds of egg sandwiches on busy Saturday mornings at Katherine's Kitchen. He inspired Ryan to take on the hobby of photoghraphy and supported Ryan in learning to play bass guitar. Randy was Cub Master of Cub Scout Pack 570 and can be credited for encouraging Connor to persue his Eagle Scout, which Connor did in 2011. Cory has followed Randy's passion for computers and with Randy's guidance, Cory is entering his senior year at WCSU majoring in Computer Science. Randy lived in the moment and always took the good from the bad- spreading positivity and smiles everywhere he went. He never met a stranger, everyone that he met was an opportunity for friendship.

With the sudden loss of Randy, we are all still in shock. This fund is going directly to Katherine to help pay funeral costs and other financial challenges that she and our family may still face. Any amount helps and is much appreciated. We know there are a lot of Randy's friends around the world that knew him well and loved him like a brother that can’t make the memorial but would like to assist.

Thank you in advance for your well wishes and generosity.

The Pineau Family
