With great sadness and much love in our hearts, the family of Randall “Randy” W. Mola announces his passing on Monday, June 22. Randy was born on Oct. 21, 1955, the son of F. Michael Mola and the late Janet (Lilley) Mola.
Randy grew up in Bristol and graduated from Bentley University in Waltham, Mass. He worked for the family businesses, Metallics, Inc. and Avanti Screw, throughout his career.
Always a kid at heart, Randy truly loved his toys. His interests ranged from sports cars and arcade games, to drones and RC cars. It was in his year after retirement that he was able to fully pursue his true passion. He opened his own shop, Area 51 RC and Hobby, to share knowledge of the hobbies he enjoyed so dearly. Randy was one-of-a-kind and will be deeply missed.
Proud father, loyal son and brother, and reliable friend, he is survived by his beloved sons, Alex R. Mola of Somerville, Mass., and Anthony M. Mola of Bristol, Conn., his sister and brother-in-law, Jill (Mola) and Bill Ramsey, his father and step-mother, F. Michael and Ann G. Mola, all of Boerne, Texas, his uncle, Robert A. Mola of Bristol, an extended family of first and second cousins, and a multitude of friends. He was predeceased by his mother, Janet (Lilley) Mola, his maternal grandparents, Oscar and Gladys Lilley, and his paternal grandparents, Frank and Antoinette (Eramo) Mola.
In his passing, Randy selflessly gave the gift of life through organ donation.
Calling hours will be held at O’Brien Funeral Home, 24 Lincoln Ave., Bristol on Tuesday, June 27, from 5 until 7 p.m.

All TBE readers, supporters and donors
The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.
- Non-members will be able to access four (4) articles per week.
- Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) articles per week.
- Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.
Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
