With his brothers, Dr. Domsky owned Bogart's, a restaurant in Center City's Latham Hotel, from 1966 to 1977, his son Samuel said.
A member of the Class of 1953 at Central High School, he attended Temple University and graduated from the dental school of the University of Pennsylvania in 1959.
He served for two years as an Air Force dentist.
"His original practice was in our home in Holmesburg," for four years, his son said yesterday.
"For the rest of his life," until he sold his practice last year, his son said, the practice "was at Academy and Red Lion Roads, near the Northeast Airport."
His son said that "he and his brothers owned many restaurants and bars all over the city," among them the former Owls' Nest restaurant on the campus of Temple University. He was a member of Meadowlands County Club in Blue Bell.
Besides his son, Dr. Domsky is survived by his wife, Maria; daughters Debra and Terri: stepdaughters Greice Lourenso and Gisele Braithwaite; seven grandchildren; and two brothers. He is also survived by his first wife, Sandra Beard.
A visitation was set for 7 p.m. today at Joseph Levine & Sons, 4737 Street Rd., Trevose, followed by an 8 p.m. memorial service there.
