He worked in maintenance for the Seminole Public Schools. Vic was a member of the Methodist Church.

Vic was an extraordinary musician. He was the finest steel guitar player, not only in West Texas, but around the world.

He has played with people and bands such as Craig Carter and Spur of the Moment band, Black Gold, The Boyer Twins, Pecos Rodeo, Chuck Peterson, Zach Casey, Mike Nelson, Greg Shoults, Jerry Dugan, Kipp Wilks Band, and many more.

Most importantly, Vic Molinar was a man of faith who was always present for his family. He was an extremely hard worker and a man of his word. He attended Kids Junction and supported his daughter in all achievements; family time was essential. Vic cherished his wife Lupe; she preceded him in death in 2020. He was an excellent cook; his barbecue and pancakes were amazing, and he was known for his non-yielding weekly menu. He never missed his coffee time, both in the morning and again at 3 pm. He adored his grandchildren who referred to him as Grumpy, and he loved his dogs who he called his "boys." He also enjoyed sports, especially Atlanta Braves baseball.
