Nunnally -- Randolph (Randy) S. Nunnally, 69, beloved father and grandfather died on March 25, 2001 after fighting a courageous battle with cancer. Randy was born in Virginia on May 19, 1931 and had been a resident of New Mexico since 1966. He is survived by his loving children, daughters, Nancy, Susan and Laura; sons, Thomas M. and his wife, Pamala, Nathan-Alan and Nathan's mother, Mercedes Nunally; his two treasured grandsons, Alexander James and Noah Randolph; his cousin, Gerald Knott; his devoted assistant, Jan Brennan; and his cherished soul mate, Irene Lee. Randy was born on a farm in Dinwiddie County, VA in May 1931. He and his mother, Virginia Olive Bulifant and his father, Craddock Jones, moved to Pembroke, Virginia where he learned to hunt, fish and adventure into the countryside exploring the Civil War trenches. Tall and thin, he was a great runner. He used to make money for Christmas presents by cutting Christmas trees, dragging them back to the small town and selling them for five dollars each. Almost everything he did he learned on his own, and in his own words he was"blessed with a strong will to survive and succeed!" While in high school, Randy used to earn money by trapping muskrats in the winter and selling the fur. He also built two boats which he frequently sailed on the Appomattox River. He walked to school (three miles each way) and spent much time with his cousin, Gerald, who was like a brother to him. In 1949, during his senior year in high school, he took the best job he could find at the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company as an apprentice building steam turbine engines for ships. One of the first great experiences of his life was when he attended the University of Virginia where Thomas Jefferson became his inspiration. He enrolled in Engineering School (simply because he envisioned himself being able to work outdoors building bridges, dams, etc.) He put himself through school by driving a cab and by helping his father who was a building contractor. In his senior year, he was elected President of his Engineering Fraternity - Theta Tau. Out of 20 students who started together, only six graduated in the class of 1953. After graduating, he worked briefly for the Pennsylvania Railroad and then applied for and was accepted in the Navy's Civil Engineering Corp. He graduated from Officer Candidate School in 1953 and was assigned to Port Hueneme, California as a Seabee where he learned about the military construction business. Here he met and married Barbara Petersen at the age of 22. He was sent to Subic Bay as an ensign and in 1954, he became Lieutenant and the Company Commander of the main site building airfields and advance bases. This valuable experience led him into the field of management and administration. In September of 1956, Randy finished his naval duty and embarked on a new phase of his life. During the early stages of Cape Canaveral (now known as Cape Kennedy), he worked in the Guided Missiles Range Division of Pan American World Airways as a Facility Engineer. Pan Am was selected by the Air Force as its range contractor to plan, engineer and operate the launch sites at the Cape. Randy worked for 11 years at the Cape and experienced the sense of urgency, excitement, and importance as the space program and NASA began to unfold. Many at this time were being challenged to make superior efforts and accomplishments, and Randy rose to the challenge. He progressed through engineering management responsibilities to become Manager of Launch Complexes and subsequently, Technical Operations Manager at Cape Canaveral. He was responsible for range operations, missile propellants, pad safety and laboratories. His work at the Cape occurred during the development of the ICBM missiles, Titan, Atlas, and Minuteman missiles. Before his passing, Randy was writing a book about his adventures in the space industry titled"Pioneers of Cape Canaveral." In 1969, Randy and his family moved to High Rolls, New Mexico where he joined Dynalectron Corporation. Four years later, Randy became Vice President of Dynalectron's Facilities Services Division. He directed the company's diversified facilities, engineering, management, technical services and support activities for a number of the nation's leading aerospace test ranges, scientific labs and research facilities. He felt very fortunate to remain lifelong friends with many of his Dynalectron colleagues. After many enjoyable years, he retired in the mid 1980's. Randy was an avid river runner who explored rivers from Alaska to the Grand Canyon. His favorite river thrill was the Taos Box, which he had run over 50 times in his life. Randy was also a master fly fisherman, spending many an hour standing waist deep in ice cold river water. He was so persistent and wanted so badly to catch fish that he would arrive back at camp well after dark. Randy was a true Renaissance Man in every sense of the word. He was an exceptional person of tremendous character who embraced life with passion. On top of his many interests and accomplishments, Randy also ran for and was elected to the City Council in Titusville, Florida for one term. He will be remembered for his energy and drive as he endeavored to live each day to its fullest. His passions encompassed skiing, fishing, nature-watching, painting, writing, whitewater rafting, and traveling the world...most recently going to Europe, China, and his favorite spot - the Island of Kauai. Randy's recent ad in the Albuquerque Journal titled "Cancer Victim's Plea" drew an overwhelming number of positive responses from the medical community and the general public.
