R.I.P. Randy Ritchie, San Joses celebrity waiter, A2C2 member #1348
Randy Ritchie was many things to many people. He was a fixture at Original Joes in downtown San Jose working there for over 30 years. He was one of the nicest people I have met. Randy was known for his flamboyance and birthday raps. The Metro did a piece on him in 2008.
The first time I met Randy, San Joses celebrity waiter, I was sitting by myself at Original Joes counter eating dinner. He sat next to me and said Havent I seen you on TV before?. I answered Yes.. He said I thought so. Im kind of a fan.. I could have never known how important of a friend he would become to me. I would see him about twice a week for the next year and a half.
My tribute to Randy.
