Whereas, the oldest child of the late Thomas and Jannie Randolph's eight children, the young Thomas graduated in 1966 from St. John High School in Cameron. In 1972, he married the former Christine Walker, and they are the proud parents of three daughters, Marvella (Orlando) Katrece Davis, Monique Lashell Randolph, and Christie Rochelle Randolph; and

Whereas, in addition, Judge Randolph served four years in the United States Air Force and dedicated twenty-two years to the South Carolina Army National Guard, retiring in 2008 as a Chief Warrant Officer 3. Though he is stepping down from his post as a Calhoun County magistrate, he will continue to serve as municipal judge for Cameron and St. Matthews; and
