John the waiter

The West Seattle Blog posted a notice about the death of West Seattle's favorite waiter. He served us lots of breakfasts at Easy Street, and greeted us at the door the couple times we splurged on Jak's. We hadn't seen him around in a while since he left Easy Street, but when Ray came in this afternoon and said a favorite WS waiter had died of an aneurysm, I knew exactly who he was talking about.

John the waiter was such a hilarious, gregarious and welcoming guy. I wonder if he knew how widely known and appreciated he was in this corner of the city.
