Randy Ingold, 62, of Gig Harbor (and formerly Fallbrook, Calif.) passed away June 19, 2015. With a kind, if not slightly mischievous smile, and a heart larger than life itself, Randy loved to laugh and everyone loved to laugh with Randy.

His love of food, classic rock and boating were surpassed only by his very special 1958 Chevrolet...
