Randy Kitch, is remembered as a fiercely independent Consumer Advocate with the North Bay Regional Center. Over the course of his life he traveled extensively advocating for people with developmental disabilities rights and services. He was even the subject of a 1970s documentary entitled Randy Kitch Travelin' Man. Randy was also a pioneer in the area of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) technology, using a Speak N Spell children's toy to communicate before there were formal Speech-Generating Devices available to work with. At one time, Randy served on the Supported Life Institute board of directors in addition to his many other advocacy roles.
