Michael J. Pascuma Jr.: A Passion
for Golf
Golf was Michael J. Pascuma
Jr.'s consuming passion. He played every Saturday with a
group of friends from work, at courses all over Long
Island. He watched golf endlessly on television.
Michael, 50, immersed himself in everything, whether
it was golf, his family in Massapequa Park or his work as
a stockbroker on the American Stock Exchange. Work and
family were entwined: he and his 92- year-old father,
Michael J. Pascuma Sr., possibly the oldest broker in the
United States, had their own firm, M.J.P. Securities,
which recently merged with Harvey, Young &
Yurman.
"You would think it was a stressful job, but he was
never stressed," said his 23-year- old daughter, Melissa
Pascuma, whom he called his little princess. He also had
two sons, ages 20 and 17. "As soon as he came home, he
detached from it and his family was No. 1."
