Randy graduated from Orangeburg-Wilkerson High School in May 1974 where he was a member of the football and baseball teams. He enlisted in the Navy in 1974 and was stationed on the USS George C. Marshall SSBN654 BLUE for Navy Submarine School in Groton, Connecticut. He was appointed Hospital Corpsman Second Class (E-5), In-flight Medical Specialist and Search and Rescue Team. After being honorably discharged from the Navy, he joined the Beaufort County Emergency Service and Hilton Head Hospital team as an EMT and later worked as a Firefighter at Sea Pines Forest Beach Fire Department.

On May 5th, 1978, he received recognition of Meritorious Service as a member of the MCAS BEAUFORT (SAR) unit for displaying outstanding professional skill and technique during a successful rescue of Capt. W.W. Moore, USMC, who ejected from his aircraft 70 miles East/Southeast of Beaufort, SC because of an in-flight fire followed by an explosion. The rescue was particularly hazardous because of treacherous conditions caused by a rough sea state.

Most of Randy’s post military career was with the family business, Morehouse Huber, Inc. in both Lexington and Orangeburg. He was instrumental in building the business in Lexington, and was known for his dedication, perseverance, and integrity. He was loved by many of his customers and co-workers.
