Ted Hafer – Owner of The Grit – R.I.P., 11/10/07
Ted Hafer, co-owner – with his wife Jessica – of the best vegetarian restaurant I ever ate at – The Grit, in Athens, Georgia – jumped to his death from a downtown parking deck this morning at 10:40. He leaves behind two children as well as his mate. In September he was hit by a car in front of his restaurant, which was probably a failed suicide attempt. Many, many people mourn this passing. Damn.
