Mr. Muratore left me with so many fond childhood memories. He always had a silver dollar for me when he visited the house. He was in the very first performance I saw of Fiddller on the Roof. I loved swimming in the pool and he taught me not to fear German Shepards or skunks. My father really looked up to him not only professionally but on a personal level. Keep each other strong and keep the memories close.

It has sadden my heart to learn of the passing of "Bing". We were classmates in Jr. and Senior High and both played with the Swing Band.
The world lost a fine man and musician.
