After 20 years in business, Elmo’s Diner has a very large extended family. It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of one of our great friends and customers, Mr. Frank Abernathy. Many of you may know Frank as the man in the wheelchair who was a daily presence at one of our front tables. We know him as a dear friend. He will be missed.
