One of the greatest men I ever knew. All I know about being a good father in law came from him. I was privileged to know him and love him for 25 years and will miss him deeply. Tim Lefler

I'm saddened to read of "chucks" passage. We met professionally in 1978 while I was at Cottage Hosp. and reconnected yearly at the SoCalASM mtgs.We both were Uof C grads but never
shared our past. Met his family after his move to Palm Desert country club. With the 2 of us
in the Desert our contact remained distant; it was ASM that kept us connected. An unflappable gentleman Dr. Molander will be missed[remembered].
