Al Ross Obituary

Al Ross, who founded a San Francisco Bay area diner chain as famous for its giant fiberglass dachshund heads as for its food, has died. He was 93.

Ross, who opened the first Doggie Diner in Oakland in 1948 and eventually ran 30 diners spread out over the East Bay and San Francisco, died Wednesday at a care facility in Palm Springs.

He had relocated to nearby Palm Desert from the Bay area 25 years ago.
