Dominic went on to become the owner of a liquor store and a wine bar in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Shortly thereafter, he discovered his real passion was for Landscape design. He spent the next 20+ years as the owner and operator of Nu-Kirk Lawn Service where his natural talents and artestry came to life. In more recent years, Dominic worked part time as a gardener for the Plantation Preserve Golf Course & Club where he helped to cultivate ideas to sustain the beauty of the various plants and gardens around the facility. After retiring, Dominic enjoyed golf, cars, watching movies & gardening in the French Quarters where he lived. He had great pride for his family especially all his nieces, nephews and cousins who he loved to visit with on his trips back to NJ.

Dominic was a loving brother and uncle. He is survived by his sister, Lucille Kouras and her husband Nicholas G.; his cherished nephew and niece, Nicholas S. and his wife Diana and Suzanne Botvinis and her husband Mark; his great nieces and nephews, who have a special place in his heart, Ava, Alexis, Sophia, Matthew and Ashley. Dominic is also survived by many cousins and friends. He will be missed dearly.

Dominic will be fondly remembered for his charismatic personality, big smile and his joy of helping others. During the holidays, he would volunteer his time at the local food pantry and was a generous supporter of many other local charities.
