"Stylish, charismatic, and full of life, he embraced each day with a full-tilt, rock 'n' roll spirit."

Muldoon, known as "Bobo" to his love ones, is survived by his partner, Miriam Rothbart; his parents, Deanna and Patrick Muldoon Sr.; his sister and brother-in-law, Shana and Ahmet Zappa; and their children, Muldoon's beloved niece Halo and nephew Arrow Zappa. (ANI)
