Janice and Family,
I just read of David's passing and was so sorry to see it. With his wonderful sense of humor he was so encouraging to me during my first years at Hillery Park when after being out of a classroom for nearly 15 years I was struggling to get my "sea legs" back. I will always remember him for his kindness. May your loving memories help to get you through this difficult time.

Mr. Molfese was my teacher many years ago. He was kind, funny, patient and a great teacher. My condolences.

Mr Molfes was always one of my favorite teachers. He always made class fun (except the times when he would make us write the glossary out). Molfese was the reason that I always loved math and I still do to this day. You were not only a great teacher but a great person. God took away a good one when he took you. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Molfese family

I first met Mr. Molfese when I was in 7th grade at Hillary Park Academy, where he was the vice principal of the school. I was absolutely terrible at math, and he ran an after school tutor program which I attended. The school closed that year for renovations. To my surprise, he was the math teacher at the high school I went to. He was always kind, caring, he had a genuine drive to push each student to their fullest potential. He was in education for the right reasons. I ran into him many years after I graduated at Wegmans. He remembered exactly who I was (well over a decade later). He´s going to be missed by many. My deepest sympathies go out to his family.
