It is with a sad heart and fond memories that we post the passing of Linda Williams. Linda passed December 30, 2025. In 1991, Jack and Linda opened the very first Richie’s Real American Diner in Temecula, California.

Jack and Linda brought the same positive energy they applied to their restaurants to the community they lived in – Los Ranchitos. They were also held in high esteem within the governance of the City and looked to for their insights as the City rapidly grew.

After Jack passed away in March of 2018, Linda continued to be the driving force of the Richie’s Diners, with a keen eye and palate towards maintaining the high quality product they were known for.

The Horse statue in the center of the La Paz round-about was dedicated to Jack – but it should go without saying that it was the combination of their energies that created the tremendous impact they have had on our community.
