The passing of Dom Tursi has been rough on all who knew him. The Washington Court Reporters Association held a memorial on April 15, 2023 at the time when Dom had been scheduled to speak. Family and friends of Dom Tursi were allowed to join virtually. I was very honored that my interview with Dom was played for all present and we got to hear his wise words and inspiring insights once more.

Now Joshua Edwards, my best friend and someone who was quite close to Dom, has released a video tribute to Mr. Tursi. It discusses the Cicero Forum and ends with a beautiful musical tribute. This is something that everyone should see.

If you have your own tribute, please feel free to comment here with it. We can all join together and remember him.

Dom Tursi, one of New York’s most beloved and well-known court reporters and mastermind behind the Gallery of Shorthand, has passed away. I had the privilege of sitting down to talk to him in 2021 during a recorded interview, but it was never released. I’m now releasing it so that all reporters may get to hear Dom speak and remember this man that loved our field so much.

It’s tough for me. When I was a young reporter and didn’t know anybody, I got taken advantage of. I reached out to a few people for help and guidance, and he was one of the people that helped me forward, helped me maintain hope, and ultimately changed my mind about leaving the field. I am a court reporter today in part because of him. Thank you, Dom. You will be missed.

The video of the interview I have with Dom is hosted on my YouTube.
