Randall “Randy” Paul Pollen, 73, of Milford, passed away peacefully on Nov. 29, 2024, surrounded by his family after a long illness.
Born in Harvey, Ill., to Charles and Jane Haldewang Pollen, he grew up in Chicago Heights. Randy graduated from Eastern Illinois University on a football scholarship, where he met Donna Cleveland, his wife of 51 years.
He is survived by Donna; their daughter, Ashlee (Cory) Kuhl; and three grandsons: Kellan, Keiran and Calloway. Also surviving are his brother, Charles (Barbara); niece, Dana (Hans) Zigmund; nephews, Noel (Ginnie) and Andrew (Jeremy Shivers); a great-niece and five great-nephews.
A lifelong entrepreneur, Randy founded Marine Mooring Inc., in Warsaw in 1985, growing it into four additional companies across northeastern Indiana. Known for his integrity and generosity, he aspired to create opportunities and second chances for people.
Randy loved spending time at his Kuhn Lake cottage, Disney vacations with his grandsons and caring for animals. A loyal friend, Eagle Scout and longtime referee of high school football, he frequently, quietly gave back to his community.
Titus Funeral Home of Syracuse is entrusted with Randy’s care. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
Donations in his memory may be made to Riley Children’s Hospital.
