May 7, 1947 – December 2, 2020
Randy Calfee was a family man first and foremost. Love, laughter, and faith in God guided his life.
A life-long resident of Lincoln, Nebraska, Randy Calfee was Born on May 7th, 1947. At the age of 18, he married the love of his life and high school sweetheart, Deborah (Tumblin), and spent the next 55 years by her side. Randy was a family man and cherished time with his wife and children and later grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Randy and Debbie were dedicated parents and rarely, if ever, missed any of their children’s events.
Good friends were a cornerstone of Randy’s life, and he felt blessed to have so many. He enjoyed spending time with his friends and always seemed to run into someone he knew no matter where he was. Randy was an outdoorsman and looked back fondly on the days he spent hunting and fishing with his son Todd and their incredible group of friends. Although Randy was a father of two, he was like a dad to many of Todd’s friends.
Randy adored the time he spent with his wife Debbie and their many travels together. Later in life, he found happiness working outside on his acreage, feeding the birds, and spending time with his two dogs Keya and Mylee.
Randy and his brother Jack were proud owners of Graphics Plus, a Lincoln-based pre-press business.
Randy Calfee is survived by his wife Deborah, Brother Jack Calfee (Linda), his children, Todd Calfee (Jaimi), Lisa Calfee Olson (Randy), Grandchildren, Cody Calfee (Ashley), Drey Calfee (Zoe), Moriah Calfee (Tyler) and Dakota Moody. Great Grandchildren Scarlett, Grace, Elsie, Harper, and Rudy, nieces, and nephew. He is preceded in death by his parents William J and Mildred Calfee, and his beloved granddaughter Alexis Victoria Calfee.

My sympathies to Debbie, Randy’s family and friends. Randy and I first met at Robin Mickle Junior High and we moved through those formative years and graduated from high school together. Looking back, my strongest image of Randy is this: I cannot remember a time when he wasn’t smiling.
Debbie, I’m so sorry for you loss. I’ll always remeber my classmate for his humor. He was always laughing and having a good time. You guys where always. meant to be together. My prayers are with and your family. We lost one of the Good Guys. Hal Smith
What a great neighbor Randy was. I will always remember are good visits over the fence.
Deb and Family-
We were saddened to hear of Randy’s passing. He always had a smile on his face, a story to tell and a hand to lend. Deb and Randy were great neighbors and treated our family as if we were their own. Our kids loved having Randy as a “bonus Grandpa”. Playing arcades in the basement and always getting a treat while visiting.
All our love-
James, Allison, Hayley and Carson Piippo
So sad to hear the passing of Randy. Randy was on our Pershing school, Little Chiefs team that won the city championship back in the 1950’s…… a great ball player! While we drifted apart during our advancing school years, I always had good thoughts of Randy.
He was a quality person, and as I’m reading a great family man. Those are the words
that exemplify that a person led a fine life.
Rest in Peace Randy,
You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers,

Deb and Family,
So sorry to hear about Randy. He was such a nice man and brought so much happiness to the neighborhood. I think most of my childhood memories I can see him outside washing the camper with the dogs, or playing with the grandkids- always so kind to invite me and my sister over as well for a milkshake. He will be missed by many. Thinking of you!
Debbie, We are extremely saddened to hear of your loss. It’s been a long time since we were neighbors (late 50’s, Hartley St). Randy and I met first at Pershing and later LNE class of 65.
It was always a pleasure to do work you and Randy. (Baldwin, “O” street office).
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Deb & family

Deb, I am so saddened to read of Randy’s death. Although I don’t really know you, Randy and then Todd called on me every day – sometimes more often – when I was at First Federal Lincoln/TierOne Bank. I thought the world of both of them and considered them both good friends. Please convey this message to Todd and know that I’m sending sincere sympathy your way. Randy was a special guy!!
So sorry to hear of your families loss. Randy was a great guy and we really enjoyed knowing him as one of our favorite patients. Our deepest sympathies.
