My condolences to family and friends. I found my exceedingly old year book recently. Mr. Molinari was the principal of that school over 40 years ago. I was by no means an easy student, and even though it was all those years ago, I can still recall his grace and thoughtfulness, and I know there are others that shared my sentiments. As I have grown older I have come to appreciate there are too few men like Mr. Molinari but heaven is all the richer with his passing.

Please accept my sincere condolences to the family on the passing this kind, generous man. He was my principal at St. Joseph Commercial/Thomas Merton CHS and he was a true inspiration to everyone who met him. A beautiful soul who reached out to staff and students alike. He attended several get-togethers after our close-knit staff dispersed to other schools and we all enjoyed the shared memories. Bless you Joe.

Dear Stewart, Lynne, Mike and family of Joe and Mary Ann, my family and I are so sorry to hear of their passing. For me, Joe was my principal, when I was a student, at Francis Libermann in the 80's, and both Joe and Mary Ann were also fellow parishioners we also knew at St. Bartholomew R.C. Church. While a student at Libermann, I was given a letter of appreciation, signed by Joe, for the Christian values I showed while in school, which I kept as I treasured it. They were always so nice to me. They both guided me, spiritually, while at church, and I thank God for the both of them. I'm glad I had a chance to see him, again, at our church before the pandemic. I saw them both as friendly, compassionate, faithful, wonderful people. Our prayers are with you all.
Eternal rest grant unto Joe and Mary Ann, O Lord, and Perpetual Light shine upon them. May they rest in eternal peace. Amen.

Please accept my deepest sympathy on the death of Joe. He was my principal at Thomas Merton C.S.S. and he was always a kind and generous man who brought out the best in staff and students, I can still remember the day when, in his quiet way, he approached me in the staff room and suggested I consider going into administration and his support and words of encouragement inspired me in that direction. He was a mentor and a role model and I truly appreciated his kindness and gentle spirit. Rest in peace, Joe.

I was very sorry to hear of Joe's passing. A lovely man, he was my principal at St. Joseph Commercial in the 1980s. We appreciated his presence at our get-togethers over the years.

Mike, Lynne and Stew, your family means the world to me and the loss of your father is truly painful. He was a wonderful person, father, grandfather who provided love, wisdom and friendship to countless people around him. He lived a great life and is now back together with your mom. Thinking of you always.
