Joseph Molinero Obituary

Joseph J. Molinero, "Joe Mo," 73, of Greensburg, passed away Thursday, May 25, 2023, at home with his family. He was a loyal husband, the best father, and a good man. Joe was born Dec. 30, 1949, a son of the late Martin and Gloria Casale Molinero. He worked as a pharmacist for 41 years but his true passions were family and friends. Joe's favorite activities included bocce, golf, bowling, fishing and cards. He was a proud member of the M&S Club in Jeannette and its Bocce League since 1972, and the Jeannette Italian Club. In retirement, Joe joined multiple bowling and golf leagues, and would humbly like us to mention that in 2019 he hit a hole in one. He was always down for a good time, quick to laugh, and cherished the time spent with his buddies (especially when "in for 17"). Joe is survived by his wife Janice (and members of her loud and crazy family); his children, Daniel, Sarah and Brandon; and his siblings, Chris and husband, Terry, and Ed and wife, Amy, all of whom loved him dearly. Joe's family would like to extend a special thanks to the healthcare professionals, friends, and the best neighbors who have been so kind and supportive. There will be no public visitation. Joe's family invites you to join them for the Joe Mo Memorial Bash from 3 to 8 p.m. Friday, June 23, 2023, at the M&S Club, 315 Cort St., Jeannette. The JOHN V. GRAZIANO FUNERAL HOME INC., Jeannette, is entrusted with arrangements.

Was so surprised to hear of Joe’s passing. Had been looking forward to seeing him at last week’s Duquesne/Sheik reunion. We were in the same pharmacy class together. I will always remember Joe doing his “funky chicken/funky turkey “ imitations at the Sheik parties to the enjoyment of the entire crowd gathered around him and clapping.
You are all in our prayers as we are so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear of Joe´s passing. Although I did not know Joe well, our mothers, Gloria and Dolores, were the best of friends, and I often heard of his successes through them. Sending deepest condolences from my family to yours.

It was my good fortune that Joe was one of the first people I met when I moved here from Butler in 1995. There here are 2 words that remind me of Joe. They are
ABSOLUTELY AND NOPE! s.a. Joe do you want to get a beer? ABSOLUTELY! Joe do you think we should stay a little longer at the pharmacy to get things cleaned up? NOPE! So Joe! When I reach those pearly gates will you save me a seat at the bar? ABSOLUTELY! Rudy Mauro

JoeMo was and will forever be an all-time great. One of the nicest guys you'd ever meet. It was a privilege to have known him and to have him as a teammate. My condolences to his family. Enjoy that heavenly cup of beer while playing bocce. You will be missed.

Joe was a regular in our informal baseball games during the summer at Seneca Heights School and McKee Stadium. A great competitor and sportsman. Rest in peace, Joe. See you on the "Field of Dreams." Bring your glove!

A true gentleman in every sense of the word. The good Lord must have needed a top notch bocce player on his team. I will always cherish our nights with brother Eddie Mo playing the machines and listening to your stories. I am so thankful for all the laughs and great times with you. You will be sadly and deeply missed, my dear friend. God bless your family.

I've had the privilege of knowing Joe Mo for over 30 years. He truly was an all time great man. Whether is was bocce, bowling, golf or cards he was always upbeat win or lose. It was obvious the joy he took in being with the guys. Rest in peace my friend, you will be missed!

For about the last 17 years, yes, 17, I spent every Wednesday evening with Joe Mo. At the M&S Club, we played bocci in the summer, and cards in the winter. Joe really liked the M&S Club, and all the members really liked Joe. He was a great guy and will be missed. He already is. RIP my friend.

Joe was indeed a kind and good man. When I joined the M&S Bocce League without previously knowing him, he made me feel very welcome from the start. That was simply his nature.

Many good words are now being said about Joe, and they are all true. He will be sorely missed.

We often refer to long time M&S Bocce members as 'all time greats'.
In Joe's case that is REALLY true, both on and off the court.
He was a wonderful man and great friend.
Heaven's Bocce Team got a lot better.
Rest in peace, Joe Mo.
You will be missed!

Joe was nothing short of an All-Time Great (in bocce and in life) and he will be sorely missed by many. It was an honor to have known him. Rest in peace, JoMo. I hope to be able to “humbly” mention MY hole-in-one someday :). You WERE that good! Salud!
