We will all miss seeing Abe's smiling face. I am glad my little daughters got to see him when we were in Norfolk last August.

Been going to Doumar's for what seems like for ever. I remember going after school (Graduate of Maury High School '94) and was happy when I was able to take my kids to experience the Doumar's way. I currently live in SC but go everytime I am back in Norfolk to visit.
