GUILDERLAND — Lou Domanico “was known for his outgoing personality and quirky sense of humor,” his family wrote in a tribute. 

Mr. Domanico was a “great guy,” his cousin, John Domanico, said; he was “always happy and friendly; that was one of his trademarks.”

Mr. Domanico died on Thursday, Feb. 10, 2022. He was 77.

Lyricist Jerome Leiber and composer Michael Stoller together wrote over 70 chart hits. All of the songs in “Smokey Joe’s Café” were written by them, songs that became staples of the 1950s and ’60s.

The change came after a March 1 public hearing on the proposed local law to merge the two boards where residents as well as current members of the Altamont’s planning and zoning boards asked trustees to make the change.
