Born in 1896
Randloph Gloe, familiarly known as Randy, was born in Two Rivers on November 29, 1896, a son of the late August and Mathilda Kiefer Gloe.
He graduated from the public grade schools here and had attended high school. When he was but a youngster in his early teens he displayed remarkable talents as an instrumentalist inheriting such talents from his late father, who was one of the city's outstanding violinists.
At the time Randy was developing for dance orchestral work, the Gloe brothers orchestra was then in existence. For his early training he went to Manitowoc to play with the Marine band and became a member of a Manitowoc dance orchestra. Shortly before World War I Randy returned to Two Rivers to become a member of the Gloe-Naidl orchestra, which included his twin brothers, Arthur and Archie, the late August H. Gloe, the late Joseph and Frank Naidl and Dr. A.R. Naidl now of Manitowoc. With this group he played trumpet and later included the saxophone. At various times he also played with both the Hamilton and Marine bands.
Joined Schubert Band
When jazz music became popular before World War I, Randy joined Schubert's Jazz Kings of Chicago and made an extended trip to the Pacific coast. A year later he rejoined the Gloe-Naidl orchestra as cornetist, saxophonist and vocal soloist. In the early twenties he spent one winter at Sarasota, Florida with the Ringling Brothers circus band, under the direction of Merrill Evans, who is still its leader.Rejoining Gloe-Naidls, Randy remained with the well known dance band until it disbanded in the late twenties. Since, the late musician had his own orchestra, Randy Gloe's Aristocrats, which played out of Green Bay for several years. Returning to Two Rivers some 10 years ago he formed another orchestra which had been active throughout this vicinity until four years ago, when he was stricken with illness. At the time he was also an employe of the Hamilton Manufacturing company. Recovering somewhat from the affliction in the past two years, Randy became a member of Romy Gosz' widely known orchestra, playing with the group until he was stricken again in recent weeks.
Brilliant in Harmony
Randy Gloe's remarkable talents for harmony and
improvising were the envy of countless musicians throughout Wisconsin. Often it has been the remark among musicians: "There's only one Randy Gloe."
Randy Gloe leaves his twin brothers, Arthur and Archie Gloe of this city, and a sister, Mrs. Clarence R. Becker of Manitowoc.
