Joe was an inspirational leader who I did not get to thank, or even speak to his family, while not being connected, on assignment in Cameroon in 2008. I did not learn of his passing until after getting home.

He was my Marine Officer Instructor as a senior at UNC Chapel Hill. Later in life when he was at NAVCENT, as the Fleet Marine Officer, an advisor to Admirals, and after General Mattis gave me a new undefined aerial observer job, Joe let me sign for a PRC 117 radio, and...

I worked for Col Molofsky as a Navy LT at NAVCENT and I did not like the man at all in the beginning. However, he became the most prominent role model in my life, and he was the only one that truly showed me how to be a leader, in his own very special way of course. I will never forget what he taught me, and I will never forget him.

Just seeing this 12/13/14. Is this Joe Molofsky attending Pikesville Sr. High School, NW Balto. Co., MD? Would have graduated 1972? The age seems right. If so, I remember Joe as a star of our Pikesville Panther football team. I knew him well and he showed great leadership skills even then. Everyone liked him. If this was the Joe I knew or not, I am very sorry for the loss to his family, must have been devastating. He was so young and achieved so much. RIP Joe Molofsky!

I served with Col Molofsky at NAVCENT in 2005. After a challenging day today and homework tonight I needed inspiration. Joe always supported his troops and co-workers, giving them advice and inspiration to do their best. His sense of humor was the best and could get a whole room of folks laughing out loud in seconds. I heard more than one person say, it sucks having to follow Col Molofsky at an event. He once asked me if I wanted to travel to Sri Lanka to catch cobras and drink with the...

My condolences to the family, friends, and Marines who served with him. I had the privilege to serve under his command in Lima Co 3/3 during the early 90's and had the opportunity to undertake some of the greatest training and adventures during my time as a Marine. I will always remember now one thing he told us and that was "To do the right thing is not always the easiest thing" I try to keep those words at heart these days. Semper Fi. Capt. Molofsky I salute you one more time!
