Randy Patrick Mahaffey from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio
January 21, 2019
My half sister Jari, our father was Charles Mahaffey, and I are the last two siblings of our generation. I was just two and a half years old when we traveled with her to Florida, and that trip is probably my very first memory. Jari was in many ways my hero (heroine) in the family, always leading a fearless and adventurous life. And once I was old enough I made several trips to Florida to visit and get to know her. Our eldest brother, Charles Jr., was killed in the Korean War in 1950, and my brother John passed away in 2012. I am sure Jari is at peace and reunited with all our family and the many dozens of friends she made over the course of her amazing life.
