Attending Watervliet High School, Dominick was renowned for his legendary athletic accomplishments in football, baseball and basketball that are still talked about today. In his later years, he enjoyed playing Golf and had a passion for Texas Hold'em which he shared with his sons.

Dominick proudly and selflessly served the City of Watervliet as a Firefighter/EMT, and Union Official for 31 years. He also worked at The Menands Regional Market over a period of 52 years in various duties for A.J. Rinella, Decker's Produce, and Esposito's Flowers and Produce. A compassionate and giving man, he was always prided for putting others' needs ahead of his own, and would be the first to volunteer when help was asked. An outstanding cook, he was renowned for his Firehouse dinners and known for hosting excellent weekend BBQ's and Sunday pasta dinners with his family.

Well known for his infectious smile, contagious laugh, and easy going nature, Dominick was the life of the party, entertaining family, friends and strangers alike with an incredible stories or a quick witted joke; he was able to walk into a room of 100 strangers and able to walk out with 100 new friends. His easygoing nature and heartfelt antics endeared him to everyone he encountered.

The Moffre Family would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Choma, Dr. Rassius, Dr. Dudek, NYOH, and St. Peter's Hospital/ Hospice Staff for their care.
