Randy Rosploch was well known in Milwaukee's gay community, where he was socially active for over 10 years, having worked at various gay oriented business including Club Baths Milwaukee.

Randy's death, of AIDS-related respiratory arrest at Wood V.A. Hospital, closely followed that of his ex-lover Brian Nicholas, of Chicago. Ron Geiman, editor and publisher of In Step magazine, wrote in his obituary in that magazine that Randy's death caused AIDS to finally strike home with him (Ron), with Randy being the first person he knew closely to succumb to the disease. (Ron was later to die of AIDS himself.)
