Obituary of Randy Lascu

In Loving Memory of Randy Trian Lascu

Born October 12, 1957, at Assiniboia Union Hospital.

Randy grew up in the Lakenheath area and spent most of his life farming and working with his Dad.  

Growing up, Randy was very mischievous.  In school he would often play tricks on his teachers just to have a good laugh: however, he would usually end his joke in the principal's office!

As a young man, Randy was involved in the Air Cadets and enjoyed outdoor activities such as baseball, snowmobiling, go-karting, rafting, and motorcycling. He just loved anything electronic and had many gadgets and toys.

After graduating high school in 1975, Randy completed a two-year Electronics Engineering Technology program at Saskatchewan Technical Institute in Moose Jaw in 1978. 

Later, he worked for Tri-City Drilling in Nisku, Alberta, as a Motorman, Roughneck, and Leasehand from 2007 to 2011, earning the nickname “Einstein” for his technical skills and inventive ideas.

Randy was very book smart and could figure out how to fix or build almost anything. He was very creative and showcased his skills by making parts from scratch on his dad’s lathe. Randy could always dream up an inventive solution for anything and at one point had designed and built a log splitter for his uncle.

Randy was happiest tinkering in his shop and building his pride and joy—a helicopter he built from a kit which he loved to fly. His passion for flying took him to Vancouver Island for helicopter training, and he often dreamed of building a cabin in Sooke, B.C., a place he loved.

Randy had a genuine interest in science and space and was a true "Trekkie" as he watched every episode of Star Trek that was ever made. He believed in natural medicine and loved music, listening to a wide genre of many different artists.  

Throughout his life, Randy enjoyed cooking from scratch and he was known for his hearty meals such as cabbage rolls, stuffed peppers, stews, seafood dishes, roasts, soups, and steaks. On the oil rigs, his BBQ steaks made him very popular with the crew!

Randy was truly "one-of-a-kind"—a different, yet memorable character who lived life on his own terms. His individuality, creativity, and complex nature will be remembered by everyone who knew him.

Randy was predeceased by his mother, Betty Lascu (2009), and his father, Trian Lascu (2016). He is lovingly remembered by his four sisters: Elaine Dauncey (Chris), Beverly Hittle (Stu), Eileen Wareing (James), and Karen Lascu (Blair); one niece, Jennifer Aussant (Neil); three nephews, Ryan Dauncey (Jenny), Jesse Hittle, and Cameron Hittle; one great-nephew, Sid Dauncey; as well as numerous relatives and friends.

A Celebration of Randy’s Life will be held on Saturday, November 1, 2025 at 11:30 am at Piche Hawkins Grondin Funeral Chapels, 601 Highway 2 North, Assiniboia, SK. Interment will follow the luncheon at Saints Peter & Paul Romanian Orthodox Church Cemetery, Flintoft, SK. Memorial donations in Randy’s memory can be given to Diabetes Canada, 919B Albert Street Regina, SK S4R 2P6.
