Randolph Stuart Colley ’56

Body

Rand Colley of Santa Rosa, Calif., died of cancer on Nov. 21, 2000. On campus he majored in psychology, joined Elm Club, and was an engineer with WPRU.

In 1962, Rand received his MD from UC-Irvine and, for three decades, practiced medicine in Costa Mesa with the Bristol Park Medical Group. He retired in 1993 and built a home overlooking the beautiful Sonoma County wine country, where he established a vineyard. As his wife, Deon, wrote, "He was fortunate to see his dream realized, however short-lived it was."

Rand is survived by his wife, four children, Carla, William, Gregory, and Rhonda, four grandchildren, and a brother, Roger. The class extends its sympathy to each of them.
