I had great respect for Jim & Doris. They gave me a chance many years ago in the Demos Restaurant here in Murfreesboro. They were wonderful employers and pillars of the community. They will leave a legacy for all to remember.

One of the greatest men I ever got to know. He is a legend in his field, but also shared wisdom that reached beyond the restaurant world. His passion was contagious. You wanted to be great for him. Every time I focus on the details and anticipate the risks at my current job, I think of Mr Demos. Praise God for the time we had with him and the works he did.

I met Mr. D in 1993 when I began working at his restaurant, which I considered my first full-time job. I spent almost two decades there, and during that time, he became a second father figure in my life. The void he leaves behind will be difficult to fill. His teachings and guidance will continue to shape us throughout our lives.
