Randy Cochrane

The following is a message from Randy's wife, Rita Cochrane:

It is with a heavy heart that I share that my beloved husband of 46 years, Randy Cochrane, passed away early Monday morning after complications following surgery. Randy and I were blessed to spend so many years together and grow our amazing family, including our two sons (Jason & Trevor), daughter (Jamie), daughter-in-law (Emily) and three grandchildren (Benjamin, Bryce, and Nora).

Randy and I met when I was in Optimist Lancers (and later Etobicoke Crusaders) and he was a member of the Toronto Optimists, where we ultimately made many incredible memories and lifelong friendships. Randy shared his stories and deep love of the activity with his whole family. All three of his children, and many nieces and nephews, became members of Kiwanis Kavaliers, Rochester Patriots, Crossmen, and the Emerald Knights, where Randy volunteered his time over many weekends and during competitions. It was clear to all who knew him how grateful he was to have known so many of you.

We know Randy has touched many lives and will be deeply missed. We will continue to celebrate and honour him for the incredible man he was; a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, and of course, friend.

We will host a celebration of life in the coming weeks and will share details once available. In lieu of flowers, we ask for donations in Randy’s honour to SickKids.

Warmly,
Rita (and family)
