June 25, 1957 — July 18, 2024
Randy Peiffer, 67, of Eau Claire, WI, passed away after a short illness with colon cancer.
Randy was born in Washington D.C and spent his childhood in Philadelphia, PA.
He graduated from Bensalem High School and then joined the US Army serving in the Military Police where he met his wife, Sue. He then graduated from UW Oshkosh (BS) where he played football as a left guard, and UW Eau Claire (MS). Randy started his teaching career in Special Education in Durand, WI and coached football with his beloved mentor, Pete Adler. He taught Special Education at Memorial HS until his retirement in 2012. He coached both track (5 years) and football (16 years) at Memorial. He also coached football at Regis (state championship 2003), North, Colfax, and Plum City high schools. He loved the student athletes he coached and his fellow coaches.
Randy loved sports and when he was not on the field coaching or playing softball, could often be found in the stands at local football and baseball games. He was proud of all those he coached and particularly proud of his former outstanding track athlete and current UW-Eau Claire coach, Paul Conlin.
Randy is survived by his wife Sue, son Troy, daughter Tanya, grandchildren Troy, Peyton, and Ezekiel, his parents, Frank and Joan, his sister Joanie (Bill) and nephews Stephen and Brian. He was preceded in death by his brother Francis “Pete” Peiffer.
