COVINGTON, KENTUCKY (FOX19) –
Kentucky’s attorney general joined teachers and students Tuesday in northern Kentucky to honor a 32-year employee of the Covington Independent School District.
After his December 2015 passing, Alvin Randlett donated his estate, more than $175,000, to the Office of the Attorney General’s Child Victims’ Trust Fund. The donation helps to protect children from abuse, a cause Randlett embraced while serving as a janitor at the Sixth District Elementary School.
Randlett worked at the school for 32 years as a janitor.
“How amazing is that example of pure selflessness and generosity, putting others before yourself. And it’s an honor to honor him today,” said Kentucky Attorney General Andy Beshear.
One of Randlett’s best friends, Jeff Siska, says if a child or a teacher was in need, Randlett was there. Randlett only had a fifth-grade education, but friends say he was smart, kind and just fun to be around.
