Not sure what to say?

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

I recently found an old business card from the Calvert Grille! I searched for him and found this obituary. I'm so sorry for his passing. He and Lynn are/were the most wonderful people to work for. I was there in '88-'87. All of my friends loved coming there and the food was fantastic. RIP Don, you were the best. Wynn Harris Jones

I just happened to see this today and it is the year 2023 I work for Don and Lynn at the grill both of them are people I'm sorry to hear this but I want people to know that Don Abrams is one of the best employers I've ever worked for in my life

I was part of the opening crew at Chadwicks in Old Town. Don was a gentleman and a mentor. Always had a smile for everyone.

Type of special individual one always glad to see or unexpectedly run into. Always upbeat, friendly and charming. Kind of guy that would make you smile whenever you saw him. His restaurant the Calvert Grill to many was the go to place for a home cooked meal. Turned out to be in my option irreplaceable.

I can´t imagine what my life would be like today had I not met Donnie. When I started my life anew in 1989, he took me in, gave me a job and believed in me. In fact the whole Abram family touched my family´s lives at many intersections over the years. He put up with all of our shenanigans and treated everyone with dignity and respect - heaven knows he was one of the most tolerant people I´ve ever met. Thank you Donnie and Lynn for opening your hearts and homes to so many. Love you, Scarlet

Great fun to ski with Don and hear all his wonderful stories. DC has lost another great restauranteur-much to early. His warmth was contagious coupled with a enormous smile and bear hug.

Thoughts and Prayers are out to the Abram Family. What a good person he was. He will be missed by all that know him.

My condolences to all of Don's family. Don was a great employer at the Calvert Grill where I worked and had some happy years. He was interesting, personable and such a fine storyteller from his life experiences. He was also a friend who offered guidance and support to anyone who needed or asked for it. He was there for me. I am so sorry I won't see him again.
