Randy I. Wiscott 1968-2021

Randy was born Jan. 23, 1968, in Youngstown, a son of Peter Anthony Wiscott and Caroline Keenan Wiscott.

Randy was a graduate of Struthers High School Class of 1986 and attended the Columbus College of Art and Design. He worked at Astro Shapes, Inc. in Struthers as a paint line supervisor for over 30 years.

Randy was very artistic and loved all types of music. He was most inspired by 80s rock music, which led to teaching himself how to play the guitar. He wrote and recorded numerous songs and was a key member of two local rock bands in the 90s and early 2000s. He was best known as “Randall J” to all of his close friends and fans.

Randy was also an avid collector. He was very proud of his extensive collections of pins and shot glasses from Hard Rock Cafe locations all over the world.

He was a lifetime Dallas Cowboys and New York Yankees fan. He and his wife, Sandy, loved bowling and bowled in a mixed league at Holiday Bowl for many years. Randy also enjoyed spending time outdoors, going on camping trips to the mountains, and relaxing by the fire with his family.
