My husbands best Bud! Got to know you thru Vel and it has been an honor. So glad you and him kept your friendship going thru school, thru the University of Fl and up to the day you left us. We have enjoyed having you here spending months and months with us here in Fl and us with you in Penn. Enjoyed your daughter and the trip to NY with her is a memory that I will always treasure. We are both sad that you left us and that last phone call to Vel to tell him that you’re done and you just wanted to tell him bye was the saddest ever but also so sweet and caring. My hubby misses you terribly and for me, you gave my hubby life and a cherished friendship that he will always remember. RIP our sweet friend, Muzzy. We love you forever and ever

Muzzy was / is a good soul, and always made us smile. The photo used for his obituary is how I'll always see him.
Our sympathies to those who treasured him as he should have been.

Yo Bozo... Will keep you in that Special Place and will never forget you! I was just talking to my grandson this past Saturday about you and the time we broke the pool at Black Canyon in AZ. And, then parlayed it to Vegas. Great Times!
May God Bless and Keep you!
Your Friend Forever, Dave.

Dear sweet Muzzy, when the phone call came I was so saddened to hear of your passing.
I immediately started thinking about the wonderful times when a group of us would go to the Poconos for a fun time ski-dooing and the parties at your home. Muzzy, you were always the gentleman and your smile, Oh that beautiful smile would light up everyone who was fortunate to really know you and your caring heart. Rest well Muzzy.❤

I am very sorry to hear of Muzzy's passing. I haven't seen him for many years. I grew up in the sixth ward, Allentown where he use to hang with the guys from that area. He was always so polite with a charming personality. RIP my dear friend!

I've known Gene for most of my life, and it saddens me to see his obituary this morning. When he was married to my cousin Maryann and had children, his home was always joyful. He cut my mother's and my hair for years and I looked forward to being able to talk with him whenever we met. As I got older our conversations were even better. He'll be missed. God bless you all.

Dear Dear Muzzy - he definitely was a legend and always an upbeat person taking anyone in and always a smile on his face. Such a sweetheart and he would say so himself...lol
