Sheridan Alexander Randolph For a man that has loved

For a man that is loved, the pain and the hurt will never diminish and from that, it is so much that inside one only has love that is not lost, but is forever.

Sheridan Alexander Randolph was born November 13, 1921, in Large, Pa., the son of the late Amanda Barcus Randolph and John (Jack) Randolph.

He graduated from Clairton High School in 1939. Alex was drafted into the army during World War II in 1942, he reenlisted in 1949 in the navy, and then transferred to the Fleet Reserves in 1969.

Alex married Lorina Randolph in 1971, while stationed in Antigenic, British West Indies, then retired from his military career in 1978, transferring to Uniontown in 1979, under the General Service Administration, then retired from GSA in 1994. Alex joined Interfaith Assembly for Christ in 1979, there he worked diligently with the Usher Board and the young people of the church until his illness slowed him down, the earlier part of this year. He also cooked for Masonic Lodges Co. 51, East 228, and Uniontown’s Lodge of Perfection for 24 years, and served as treasurer of the Merchant Marines until 2004.

Alex was preceded in death by both parents, three sisters, Sara Stewart of Clairton, Pa., Gladys Marshall of McKeesport, Pa., Alice Randolph of Philadelphia, Pa., one brother, Arnold (Skip) Randolph of Washington, D.C.
