Dominick Severini, age 82, of Totowa passed away peacefully on Tuesday June 26, 2018 in the presence of and while receiving the loving care of his family.
Dominick was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. He was one of two children to Albert and Ethel Severini. Growing up in Brooklyn in the 1940’s and 50’s, it was no surprise that Baseball played a big interest in Dom’s life. Being from Brooklyn it was also no surprise that Dom was a huge New York Yankees fan.
Not long after his graduation from High School in Brooklyn with the class of 1953, Dom enlisted in the United States Army and was stationed in Japan. He served honorably in the United States Army from 1955 – 1959. Subsequent to his honorable discharge, Dominick got a job at the New York Post Office where he worked for several years. Then he was offered a position to work with his father at a trucking company called Fein Containers, which his father co-owned with other partners. Dominick worked at Fein Containers for over 10 years until dad passed away. Dom then earned a position as a security guard at the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission in Wanaque. Dom worked there for many years until 2004 and truly enjoyed it. He loved the people he worked with and they were in turn very fond of him as well.
In 1960, Dom was introduced to an attractive young woman by the name of Lucy Valente. They were introduced by a mutual friend and went out for dinner and drinks on their first date. They dated for about a year, fell in love and were married on June 25, 1961 at St Finbar’s Church in Brooklyn. Dominick and Lucy stayed in Brooklyn where they had their first and only daughter Lisa. After about nine years, in 1971, they moved to Totowa. They would spend the rest of their lives together in Totowa. Dom and Lucy cherished fifty-seven years of loving and loyal marriage. During their years together, Lucy and Dom enjoyed playing cards with their friends, particularly Pinochle. They also took great pleasure in traveling. They frequented places such as Cancun, New Orleans, Bermuda, and a particularly memorable trip to Salem, MA on Halloween some years ago.
Dom was a kind and generous man who was liked by everyone that knew him. He loved to laugh and was known for his smile. He made friends wherever he went and kept long lasting friendships with people, including a special friendship with a childhood friend name Vincent Gabriel who has since passed on. Dominick was dedicated to his Catholic Faith, he and Lucy were Parishioners of Our Lady of Holy Angels in Little Falls for many years. Aside from his love of Baseball and the Yankees and above all of Dom’s interests and hobbies, his family was his greatest passion, nothing meant more to Dominick than spending time with and providing for his family. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather, he touched the lives of many people and will be sincerely missed by his family and friends alike.
Dominick is survived by his wife Lucy (nee Valente) of Totowa, one daughter Lisa Greco and her husband David of Totowa, two grandchildren; Christopher Greco of Totowa and Alexandria Greco of Totowa. He was also predeceased by his sister Joan Bove.
