Also by his best friends Joe, Rob and Cliff who got together weekly at Randy’s place to play Risk for over 30 years. Fondly remembered by his friend, Deb and others. Predeceased by his brother Phillip Trotier (2004). Randy was proud to have served his country in the Canadian Armed Forces for over 7 years.
