My family and I are saddened to hear about Randy's passing. I grew up with so many stories about him and my Uncle Tutti and how they drove my mom, "Dahnah" (as Randy would say it) nuts, that I thought both of them were immortal, especially Randy. Nothing ever seemed to rattle him. No matter what the situation was, he was always funny, confident, and entertaining. I think it was impossible not to smile and laugh when you were around him.

So I was at a function a few months back, and I had at least two people ask me where I got my suit. It was bittersweet, but I felt so proud to open up one side of the sport coat and show them the label: "Rakich & Rakich, Where the Best Get Dressed." Randy really knew his suits. He poured a great deal of passion into making sure his customers looked good. It's such a shame he passed so young.

My wife Julie and I will keep you in our prayers.

Randy was a special person from the time he was a little boy. The boys and our son Dan
played together and got into everything. All a part of growing up but most don't keep that friendship beyond high school. These boys did and had the pleasure of visiting Randy these pass few weeks talking about the good old days. What a blessing.
Want you to know Denise that our heart and prayers go out to you all. May God watch over and help you during this sad time. God Bless you.

Randy Rakich was a fabulous person. He taught me so much about the fashion industry and was a wonderful "Go To Guy" whenever I had a question. What an amazing legacy he leaves with all of us! He gave Lorain County "style"....

Peace to the Rakich family,

Randy Rakich was a true supporter of the Community. He sponsored a baseball team with Lorain Youth Baseball for 20+ years. His sponsorship helped numerous children!!
Being around Randy's outgoing and enthusiastic personality, you couldn't help to be positive. He also helped the areas High School students with a very affordable Prom tux rental. Our son also had the opportunity to promote a tux rental program at his school and earned a free tux rental and commissions. Randy helped start off our son's business career. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
