Born on December 11, 1961, in Yadkin County to John Ralph Shore and Edith Scott Shore, Randy was known for his generous heart and creative spirit. He lived with a constant desire to help others, often placing their needs before his own, and possessed a natural ability to develop new ideas and share his vision in a thoughtful and articulate way.

Randy spent more than fifteen years living at Atlantic Beach, where he enjoyed golfing and fishing along the coast. During that time, he helped operate the Shore Motel and Apartments, devoting himself to the care of the property. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to create Sea Falcon Lures, produced on the Causeway, and later to co-own Wholesale Tackle Company and Shore Boys Tackle in Morehead City. Earlier, he and his brother ran several restaurants and seafood businesses, including Shore Boys Grill in Princeton, Shore Boys Seafood and Steak in Goldsboro, and Shore Boys Seafood Market on West Main Street in High Point. Before retiring, Randy operated Minnie and Macels Grill in East Bend, where he continued serving people and building friendships.

A longtime member of Turners Creek Baptist Church, Randy faithfully served as Choir Director in his earlier years. His love for music, fellowship, and faith touched everyone who knew him. He truly loved life and cherished every opportunity to meet new people.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Edith Scott Shore.

Randy is survived by his father, Dr. John R. Shore; his brother, Scotty Shore; his sister, Rebecca (William) Mulligan; his special friend, Betty Lewis; and several cousins and friends who will cherish his memory.
