Hello everyone,
I wanted to take the time to let you know that my father, Dominic Victor Perruna – 58 yrs old, passed away on Wednesday, March 07, 2007 and I have been grieving with family. Things began about a week and a half ago when my father collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. They told him he had a really high blood sugar level and gave him medication and sent him home. He seemed to be doing ok until he suffered a massive heart attack around 8pm Wednesday night while taking his nightly walk with his two dogs. He was found by his 82 yr old mother (my grandmother). She called the paramedics, but they were unable to revive him.
Please understand that I won’t be posting to the blog until further notice. Thank you so much!

Hey Sorry for your loss. I’m new…
This is years late, but I was speaking with my brother about Perruna’s restaraunt today and how we spent alot of fun times there when I came across this. I am sorry sorry for your loss. You dad was an awesome guy with a smile on his face 24/7. His restaurant was the “Cheers” of the 70’s. Your dad, Vic, Combat (Forgot his name, he always wore a bow tie) were great hosts.
Neil,
Perruna’s was the happening place of it’s time in the 50’s 60’s and 70’s. It was sold when I was only 8 yrs old (late 80s) but I do remember.
Georgie ‘D’ = combat?
Lots of great memories through pictures.
