Memorial Donations in Memory of Randy McCoy

March 31, 2020 – From Bruce Ross, WWA Executive Director: A couple of weeks ago, we began to receive some online donations in memoriam to Randy McCoy from Oshkosh.  Randy passed away in early March, leaving a family and many, many friends, and colleagues from his work at Proctor and Gamble.  While I didn’t know Randy personally, I always find it touching that a donor respects a person and their passion to such a degree they contribute funds to a group that helps to inspire such a passion in others.

When we we later received a check for several thousand dollars that represented the donations of several score of Randy’s friends and family, well… that was something very unique.  Not so much the size of the donation, but that so many people wanted to honor Randy with a donation to WWA.   I reached out to Randy’s friend, Brian Rumlow, noting that, “it’s  clear that Randy’s life was well spent, having made such a profound impact on so many…”  I wanted to know more about Randy, and offered Brian an opportunity to share some of Randy’s hunting memories with our readers.  I expect you’ll see similar themes from your own duckhunting experiences, and regret, as I do, that you’ve missed the chance to know Randy.
