Although our dearest friend Danny, who was like a family member to us, is no longer at our sides, he will always remain in our hearts.
Danny was one of the most amazing, kindest generous and fun-loving friends we knew.
I’ll never forget meeting him at the Four O’Clock Lounge, and hanging out with him at the Beach Comber, West Shore Inn, Rustic Inn, Forrest Gardens, Memories and Raneiros, etc. We had the best times at Danny’s BBQs and at our BBQs as well. He loved his Bloody Mary’s. Those were some of thev best times of our lives!
Danny is the reason Frank and I are married. and we will always be grateful to him for it.
We will miss Danny terribly. We are so broken hearted and he will remain in our hearts forever.
With heartfelt condolences to Donna, Michael and the rest of the family. Rest in peace our love! Forever in our hearts❤️

I first seen Danny in 1969 when he came up my block in his white convertible car with a pretty girl in his car, we work together for the same company driving the school buses we would go to Butler’s for coffee before our runs started. I also remember hanging out at the sleepy Hollow Inn on Fridays.
Great times 🥃🍷… I also remember when Danny was playing the club circuit on Staten Island and that’s when I gave him the nickname Congo Sr . My boy Tony introduce me to Rambo, but I will always be thankful for him telling me when we used to have a little bit of a layover over near the beach coma , don’t let Rambo get out of your sites
And I’ll always be thankful for that… Danny was one of my oldest and dearest friends Rambo and I are devastated with the great loss of a great friend … he will be missed 🙏🏻 .. also nobody will ever forget his Labor Day parties they were the best .The day after we go back and eat again and party and see his Mom Dottie great lady .. They were always great times, we will never forget hanging out going to dinners and barbecues specially at Tony’s house. I will always feel cherished and honored to know Danny he will be missed… my condolences to Donna Marie & Michael and his family .. Rest in Peace my brother 🙏🏻. Congo jr

My deepest sympathies to the Muccino family. I have known Danny for many years and he was one of the sweetest, kindest people I have known. I enjoyed watching Danny perform with Keys many a night. His parties in his yard were always the best! He always expressed his love for his family. May Danny rest peacefully in Gods hands. Farewell my friend. 🙏🏻❤️
