About Dominic A. Marsicovetere

After graduating Queen's College, where he met his wife Kathy, and earning his Master's degree from Pace University while working, Dom started an accounting practice in Smithtown, New York in 1978. He also began an almost 30-year teaching career at Hofstra University that same year. Life was busy, and Dom and Kathy grew their family and the business. Dom became the faculty advisor for Hofstra's Chapter of Beta Alpha Psi, the accounting honor society and grew that to achieve Superior Chapter Status, instituting charitable work in the community as part of membership. Surrounded by supportive family, excellent mentors and friends, and eager young minds, Dom practiced and preached positivity and determination. He was always available to help those in search of ways to be of value to others. In business and in golf, his heart was as genuine as his competitive spirit was strong. He and Kathy lived an extremely active and vibrant life together, traveling whenever they had the chance and enjoying time with their grandchildren. It came as an incredible shock when he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a condition commonly associated with children and young adults. Dom passed away about 9 months after his diagnosis, on November 21, 2023 at 76 years young. It seems appropriate to his family to honor him and mark the anniversary of his passing by donating to ALSF in his name, to help families experiencing the struggle of battling aggressive cancers such as osteosarcoma.
