Carl Molinaro Obituary
His wife's cousins called him "O. B. Carl," as in Overboard Carl. Wander through the pale yellow Colonial in Staten Island that Carl E. Molinaro built for his family, and you will understand why. "We have remote-control doorknobs, elegant ceiling fans," said his wife, Donna. "He wanted to do everything good and fancy."
Firefighter Molinaro, 32, a carpenter and cabinetmaker before he joined the Fire Department three years ago (he worked in Ladder Company 2 in Manhattan), finished building a dream house in Tottenville for himself and his wife at the beginning of August last year.
But the Molinaros waited a few weeks so they could move in as a family: Carl, Donna, 2-year-old Sabrina, and baby Thomas, who was born on Aug. 19.
"Family hug," Firefighter Molinaro would call during those blissful couple of weeks, and in an instant, his wife, their infant and Daddy's little sweetheart (Sabrina, that is) would be in the kitchen, locked in a group embrace.
Eight months old, the youngest Molinaro already has his father's rounded shoulders and big blue eyes. He also has his father's name — after Sept. 11, baby Thomas was renamed Carl.

Never a day goes by when you are not in my mind and in my heart. Today, I shared your story with my class as I taught them about what happened 22 years ago. It was difficult and beautiful. I pray that they will remember your name and carry your story in their hearts as well. I want you to be remembered forever. You deserve that! You were all things good and I am so thankful that I am you littlest sister! I carry your heart. I carry it in mine. I love and miss you always!

Happy Birthday!! 54 so crazy!! I wish you were here so I could tease you about how old you are. Tell you how I’m so much younger than you. Instead you are in heaven eternally 32 and I am here, your baby sister now 12 years older than you will ever get to be. When the day comes, and we are together again I guess you can tease me about my wrinkles while you stay young and perfect. I miss you Carl! I think of you always. I carry your heart, I carry it in mine. All my love always! The Littlest Sister.

Carl, 19 years ago, we said goodbye to you and every single day since then I have missed you! I can honestly say in all these years there has NEVER been a day when you were not on my mind and in my heart. Big brother, I miss you with an intensity I cannot begin to measure. Your absence in my life is profound, in some ways it defines it. The before and the after. Even still, despite the sadness, and the pain,I wouldn't trade a second of my life with you. I am so thankful to be your sister. I am si blessed to have grown up knowing what it was like to have a brother who was kind and funny and talented and smart and protective and who loved me. Thank you for being the perfect brother! Thank you for sending my son to me and giving him your eyes and mischievous grin. Thank you for being you. I miss and love you,I carry your heart, I carry it in mine.

My brother, my hero, I miss you everyday and today I miss you extra! Today I feel sad and broken. I remember everything about you and our memories are always make me smile but there are days like today when our memories break my heart! There are no words for the joy you brought to my life, the laughter and the love. I am so grateful for you. In the years since you've been gone there has not been a single day I don't remember you, miss you, feel your absence and wish you were here. In my son I see you everyday and I thank you for that. I know in my heart you sent him to me a little reminder that you are still with me. I love you Carl! I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart. Love, the littlest sister...

Hey Handsome, Couldn't write on the 11th. I couldn't find your FDNY sweatshirt and I was so upset, I couldn't think straight. We all went to Lisa's house to be together. We cried, we laughed and told stories about you.
We were watching the reading of the names and Jimmy was reading names and when he finished, he spoke of you. His words were wonderful and he spoke with love for you. He did a great job and I was sobbing.
15 years, my heart still aches, my eyes still cry and I miss you with all that I am.
like your sister said " you were a giant among men' you were one in a million We were all so blessed for having you in our lives.

Carl, I didn't know of you, until today, when I participated in the 9/11/2016 Memorial Stair Climb in Marietta, Georgia. I was given your photo, to climb 110 floors as tribute to you. I wasn't sure I could do it, so I talked to your photo and asked you to help me reach the goal of floors. Thanks to you, I completed the goal and felt unbelievably rested at the end.
I came home and read some articles about you and how you gave your life to help others. How your family must miss you!
I feel very blessed to have been picked as your 'stair climber'.
I know your soul is in a safe place in the universe and that gives me reassurance.
We'll be joining you before the century is over.
Love from here to there, to YOU, Carl. Thank you.

My brother, my love, I miss you! Tomorrow will be 15 years without you. I still can't fathom it. I am so very thankful for having the privilege of being your sister. I would not trade a second spent with you. Not even to stop the ache in my heart. You were so much more than I could ever put into words. I am blessed to have shared a part of my life with you and I hope that I make you proud. Carl, you were a giant among men, too good for this world and so God called you home but your presence is felt and your legacy strong. You will always be remembered by those who love you! What I wouldn't give to hear that infectious laugh of yours. I love you Carl! I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart I am never without it...
September 11, 2015
My brother, my love, 14 years have passed and all at once it feels like yesterday and a lifetime ago. I often wonder silly thing like what you would look like now how time would've changed you and am saddened by the reality that death has you frozen in time. Years pass but you will forever be 32. I love you Carl and I miss you more than words could ever describe. I carry your heart, I carry it in mine.

Hi Handsome, Sorry I didn't write to you on your Birthday. I was in Florida with Lori and Jason. On your Birthday we watched our trip to NC in 1986. We were laughing our heads off. You were wearing your shorts (short ones) and had a mullet. You would have been laughing with us and I think you were. We all said Happy Birthday to you. I love and miss you with all that I am. We also thought about you now having 2 Birth dates. the first the day you were born here on earth and the second the day you were received in heaven. I love you and I miss you every day. JED Mommy.

I don't even know how to begin this conversation. Hello seems inappropriate. Somehow I have been holding on to a piece of Carl for 10 years in hopes that I would find his family. From what I understand is a fellow firefighter carved likenesses of his lost brothers into chunks of the Towers marble floors. Somehow I ended up with Carl's. For years I have been carrying it around knowing it is not mine and wanting for him to go home to his family. I hope someone can contact me so I can make this happen.

Hey Handsome, Watched the reading of names at Ground Zero as I do every year, and my heart breaks. So many lost to the ugliness of Evil. So much hope destroyed by hate. What Evil could not destroy is love. I love you with all that I am and miss you with all my heart. 12 years without hearing your voice, touching your face, hugging you and kissing you. I would give anything for one more hug, one more kiss, one more "JED". Life without out you is unbearable. Thanks for the memories and the love and the honor of being your Mom.

My Brother, My Love. It has been 11 years and yet the pain is still so fresh. I realize more & more that time does not heal all wounds, infact my heart aches more every day I spend without you. We were supposed to grow old together, enjoy watching our families grow together, We had an entire lifes worth of memories to make. In the 11 years since you were taken from us it seems a lifetime has passed. I was once 10 years younger then you, now I am older then you will ever get to be. I have two children who just started school whom you have never met. Everyday wonderful moment in our family is always a sad moment as well because your absence is always looming over us. Nothing will ever ease the pain of losing you. Carl You are so very very loved & missed.

Carl,
A brother firefighter,I never had the honor of knowing you, but I felt close to you for the past 10 years. I responded to NY after the attacks and was honored to work side by side with your FDNY brothers. When I first saw the site my heart sank and tears came over me. On the night you were found I had returned to the trade center from a memorial service for FF Pete Nelson. As I walked around the site I heard them say they located a FF and need help to recover .This was my first and last meeting of you, You left me with the true meaning of BROTHER HOOD.I did not know you but have since learned about you,You were also a carpenter , and a hunter and loved being a firefighter. I to am a carpenter and a hunter and have been a fighter for 40 years. Ever since that day ,a year has not gone by that I do not go to NY on 9-11 and pay my respects to my fallen brothers and say hello to you.WE vowed never to forget and this firefighter will not. I am 53 years old now and never wanted a TATOO but 5 years I had to get one done it has the towers ,a cross with FDNY and the letters C M and NEVER FORGET . Carl I will never forget and god willing I will visit you and our brothers again this year and every year. So untill 9-11 I say goodby.Sincerely Anthony SKUT CHVFD

I Love You My Borther and Miss You with an ache I could never have imagined! Trudi and I are not the same without you. The three of us were meant to grow old together, to witness each others lives play out, to cheer for each other, laugh at each other, share in our joys and sorrows and do all the things that siblings do; but you were robbed of your chance to live and we were robbed of our brother. People say time heals but they are wrong! The hurt I feel will NEVER heal I will always long for my big brother and miss your face, your kind heart, your infectious laugh and all the love you had to give! I LOVE YOU CARL ALWAYS!! I carry your heart I carry it in mine!
Love ALWAYS The Littlest Sister

Carl,
I never had the honor of knowing you in this lifetime. However I am a firefighter at my local volunteer station. Today myself and fellow members participated in the 9/11 Memorial Stair climb in Baltimore in honor and memory of you and the other 342 firemen that were lost. I had the privilege of receiving your picture on a lanyard that I carried with me through the entire climb. Though I did not know you, I felt compelled to look you up when I returned home today and I came across this. I felt like I should tell you thank you for all that you have sacrificed, though I did not know you it is obvious how loved you are. I am honored to have been able to carry your picture with me for 110 flights of stairs. You my friend, will never be forgotten.
Sincerely,
Michelle

Right now your neice just climbed up on my chair looked at the little picture of you on this site and laughed and said Uncle Carl and my heart just shattered into a million pieces.

I know this is your favorite holiday, it was mine too once-not anymore. I miss your Christmas list on the fridge how I wish I had saved one.
We are going to Staten Island on Wednesday and will visit you then. I will kiss the stone helmet and pretend it's your face and I will pretend for a moment that you are here, and all is well.
I have no words Carl, there are no words that express what my heart feels. I love you with all that I am, my heart will never heal, the tears still come and I will never again kiss the face of my son, my son. I will wait and listen and maybe this year, I will hear the bell ring.
Have a wonderful Christmas with the Lord. Jed Elske Deg my handsome boy.

Dear Joan & Family,
You must think I've forgotten you. That is the furthest thing from the truth. You don't know how many times you and Carl and the rest of your family are spoken of. Of course, this month I've been thinking of you even more. As in your family, so many things have happened here. The big news is, Leif retired from the fire department. I also left my job. I realized how I lost contact with so many wonderful friends during the five years I worked. Please contact me, as the last time I tried to e mail you, it was returned.
Love to you all,
Holly

Carl,
I agree with your sister what your sister said below what could I say that I have not already told you before. Watching us up from Heaven I am sure you know how much you are missed and how much of an inspiration you were to your family in life and the HERO you truly are!
Love Always

Hey Handsome, I hate this day, eight years and it only gets harder. I hate leaving you at that cemetery. I hate living without you. It rained so hard today and when they were reading the names at ground zero someone said, "This isn't rain, it's tears." It was tears alright. I love and miss you with all that I am. Jed Elske Deg!
