Wayne J. "Big Moe" Molis

It´s hard to believe, 20 years ago, you left to open a new bar in the sky. We all miss you "Moe". Save us all a stool.

I lived around the corner from Wayne on Union Av. He was one of my earliest buddies even before I started Kindergarten. We walked to and from Walsh School together. He taught to play baseball in his back yard, watched Howdy Doody and Flash Gordon at his house. His family was one of the first in the neighborhood to get television. We moved and I lost track of him after Chicago Teachers College. I’m extremely sad I didn’t know about his Taverns on Archer Av. passed them many times. All my...

Our sincere condolences to the Molis Family on the loss of Wayne.

Sorry I didn't get a chance to spend some time with you "Big Moe". Our prayers are with you and your family

Wayne was my friend and teammate on the New York Knicks. Cazzie Russell gave BIG MOE another nickname, "Sweet Moe from Cicero". I will remember him for his tenacious play both on and off the court, and his outside shooting skills. I was lucky to have visited with him a year ago. We will all miss "Sweet Moe" . Condolences to his friends and family.

Wayne Molis gave me my first unfiltered cigarette, taught me how to shoot bow and arrow, and was a great
companion bow fishing for monster carp at Lake Lawn lodge when I was a kid. What a character! Wayne,
you were the best, and I will always remember you and Carol fondly. My deepest condolences to Brian,
Derek, and Jennifer, three great kids from a great family. Please keep in touch.

Enjoyed talking about all the old memories at your bar. I went through three nicknames growing up with you BAKER MAN, BAM (BIG A-- MAILMAN) and "THE RAISIN"
You will be missed.

Oh, all you Molis family members -- I am so sad to hear of your loss. When I think of Wayne, I think of my childhood memories of Lake Lawn, of seeing him get married and taking pictures with my Brownie camera, of my pride that I new a New York Nick, of him telling my future husband "He better take care of me" (a big threat from that big guy!). Take comfort in all the new beginnings your family has right now -- weddings, births, graduations. Raise a toast and share a laugh for a man who was...

Our deepest sympathies to the Molis family. Our years of wonderful memories shared with "BIG MOE" will always be remembered. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Time was when "Big Moe" was just "Moe." The old 50s Canalport & Union crowd gets smaller. I never could shoot over him in the school yard. Nothing but fond, never-ending memories from our boyhood days. See ya again some day, big guy.
