Donald E. Randall, age 88, of Janesville, passed away at home surrounded by his family on Sunday, July 12, 2020. He was born in Milwaukee on July 14, 1931, the son of Harold and Evelyn (Tilly) Randall. He graduated from Milwaukee Washington High School and joined the Air National Guard. Don began college at UW-Milwaukee but, his studies were interrupted when the Korean War started and all Guard Squadrons were activated into the U.S. Air Force. At the end of the war, he was discharged and resumed his studies at UW-Madison graduating with a B.S. in Business Administration. On August 6, 1955, Don married Arless West in Milwaukee. They lived in Jefferson for 2 years prior to moving to Janesville when Don was hired by General Motors where he worked for 32 years as an Accounting Supervisor. He also operated Randall Accounting and Tax Service for 50 years. He was a member of First Lutheran Church. Don was a past member of the Blackhawk Curling Club and past president of the Janesville Swinging Squares. He enjoyed golfing with his friends, daily activities at the Athletic Club, and caring for his hundreds of flowers. He and Arless were loyal fans of the Badgers and Packers and enjoyed their season tickets at Camp Randall for many years. They spent several years traveling coast to coast. Highlights of these travels included watching 14 Badger away games, enjoying time at their time share in Orlando with family, and spending their winters in Naples.
