November 23, 2005

TOWNSON Constable Randall “Randy” Townson of Clive passed away at the Red Deer Regional Hospital on November 18, 2005 at the age of 49 years. Randy was born in North Bay, Ontario on June 1, 1956. He moved to Calgary, and in 1988, fulfilled his life-long dream of becoming a Royal Canadian Mounted Police. His first posting was in Provost and from there he was posted to Cardston. His final posting was in Red Deer where he has been for the past 10 years. Randy was an advocate for physical fitness. It was important to him to be in good shape. He liked woodcarving and clay figurines and he especially enjoyed travelling to hot countries all over the world.
