    8. [S3004] Obituary of Josephine Dohack - St Louis Post Dispatch - 2000, (Name: St Louis Post-Dispatch; Location: St Louis MO; Date: 11 Oct 2000;), JOSEPHINE DOHACK - FOUNDED LANDMARK RESTAURANT.
      Josephine "Josie" R Dohack, retired owner of Dohack's Restaurant, a former south St Louis County landmark, died Monday (Oct 9, 2000) of infirmities at Nazareth Living Center in Mehlville. She was 96 and had lived most of her life in south St Louis County.
      Mrs Dohack and her husband, Ernest Dohack Sr, now deceased, opened their first restaurant on Lindbergh Boulevard and Lemay Ferry Road in 1923. His parents, Joseph and Catherine Dohack, and his brother and sister-in-law, Arthur and Esther Dohack, were also part-owners.
      Mrs Dohack attended Miss Hickeys Business School. She baked pies at the restaurant, which was known for its homemade desserts and fried chicken. Many of the recipes were hers, and one of the most popular dishes was the jack salmon. The dish was actually made with whiting, but when the Dohacks called it "Jack salmon" on their menu, the name became a tradition in St Louis restaurants. Over the years, there were seven Dohack's restaurants in the St Louis area; the original restaurant closed in 1993. "It was actually a true landmark because when people talked about traveling south they would say, 'You go to Dohack's and turn right,' " said her son, Richard Dohack of St Louis County. "Every body in the city knew where Dohack's was."
      Mrs Dohack worked at the restaurant until 1965, when she turned the business over to her son. There are two Dohack's Restaurants open today; Dohack's Restaurant in Festus and Cisco's in Oakville. In addition to her son, among survivors are a daughter, Joyce Lang of Mehlville; another son, Ernest Dohack Jr of Concord Village; a brother, Raymond Marlotte of Oceanside CA; 18 grandchildren; and 43 great-grandchildren. Visitation will be at Nazareth Living Center, Mehlville, followed by funeral Mass. Entombment will be at Mount Hope Mausoleum in Lemay. Memorial contributions may be made to Sisters of St Joseph Retirement Fund.
