September 5, 1945 - May 12, 2021
Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich
A Father's Day Remembrance

Randy Banovich was born in Tonopah Nevada the 2nd of 4 sons to David M. Banovich Sr. and Mildred C. (Martin) Banovich. He lived in Tonopah until 1965, working at a gas station and driving a truck for a propane company. He met his first wife Deana L. Wirtz, and they moved to Orangevale, CA, and had a daughter, RanDee L. Banovich. He worked in construction and helped on grandparent Wirtz’s farm.

The family moved and lived in Yerington, NV from 1966 -1969 where they had a son, Mathew L. Banovich. Randy worked as a police officer and a mechanic for a mining company. He also taught gun safety classes and belonged to the Jaycees.

Randy moved to Fallon, NV in 1970 and remarried February 9, 1972, to Sandra L. Busch. He worked as a mechanic and then a contract specialist at the naval base. He was surrounded and loved by many friends and family. He was known as a son, brother, uncle, husband, friend, sponsor, mentor, race car driver, a genius of a mechanic, a good listener, grandpa lollipop, and storyteller.

However, to me, he always was and always will be my Daddy and I love and miss him so very much. Until we meet again, I will hold you near and dear to my heart Dad,

Happy Father’s Day in Heaven,  Love, RanDee Lyn

I DON'T THINK I EVER SAW RANDY THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE A SMILE ON HIS FACE. HE ALWAYS WAS HAPPY AND HAD SOME CHEERFUL WORDS. HE WAS A GREAT GUY AND WILL BE MISSED.

From the editor: This is a very good question and we apologize for not catching that wasn't in there. We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITORComment author: Debra J RidenourComment text: So sorry for your loss.
