"Donny was an amazing family friend to us all these years & we will forever cherish the memories. My father was "Froggy" (Frank Muoio) who considered Donny to be one of his best friends! Donny & Froggy spent many years working at the bar together, and I always enjoyed hearing the stories my father would tell about "the good ol' days." The Muoio Family is terribly sorry to hear about the loss of Donny-- but just like I told my father before he passed last year; ONLY the good die young. Sending much love during this difficult time. "

Tributes
"Cathy I am so sorry for the loss of the love of your life, Don."
"My heart is heavy once again. My friend you have earned your wings, fly free. Donny was such a wonderful guy. I was truly blessed to have crossed his path during our years at Froggy's bar. Donny definitely had skills in the kitchen. Not only was he a great cook but he was such a compassionate friend who always had a listening hear for everybody. Those moments that I spent around him were very valuable to me. Donny you were a real stand up guy and you will be missed. Rest in Peace. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. "
