Roger Molnar Obituary
Rumson
Roger Andre Molnar of Rumson, NJ passed away January 22, 2016 with his wife, Jo Ann, by his side.
Roger was born to Lucy and Andre Molnar in Brooklyn, NY. He was raised in Metuchen, NJ and graduated from Metuchen High School and Trenton State College. Roger had a prolific career in precious metals and commodities as Division Vice President of Precious Metals at Mitsubishi Corporation in New York, NY.
An avid athlete, Roger competed in baseball, tennis, and golf. He excelled in baseball, being scouted to play professionally. Roger enjoyed watching sports and cheering on his favorite teams - the NY Yankees and the Green Bay Packers. He loved spending time with his family, especially at home; playing board games, tossing the kids in the pool, riding bikes, kayaking, and going on excursions in his motor boats and 1968 Plymouth Fury. He especially beamed with pride when he listened to his son play the drums, and he watched his daughter dance.
Roger was a gregarious and kind person. His strength of character and sense of humor will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
He is survived by his loving wife of 21 years, Jo Ann (Trovato) and his beloved children, Christian and Nicole. Roger is also survived by his sisters, Lucienne Hetzel of Metuchen, NJ, Andie Molnar of Port Charlotte, FL, and Stephanie Molnar of Austin, TX, his sister-in-law, Vera Klein of Boca Raton, FL, as well as his nieces, nephews, and extended family.
Visitation will be held Friday, January 29th from 7-9 PM and Saturday, January 30st from 11:30 AM until the service begins at 1:30 PM at Thompson Memorial Home, 310 Broad Street, Red Bank, NJ.
In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made on behalf of Roger to the Rumson First Aid Squad, 1A Wilson Circle, Rumson, NJ 07760 or online at www.rumsonems.org and/or for the college fund set up for his children, Christian and Nicole, by making checks payable to JoAnn Molnar c/o PO Box 8097, Red Bank, NJ 07701.

Roger and I started working at Mitsubishi around the same time, and he was the one who taught this lawyer about the precious metals business. It was easy to see why Roger's kind and gentle soul was so beloved in his industry. We will miss you deeply, Roger.

It is with the deepest regret and heartfelt sympathy for your loss Joann. Roger is one of a kind, well liked and truly loved. The industry has lost some its personality with this loss. Words cannot express how much I miss him.
