Robert "Bob" Lucian Molinari, 79, of Sun Valley, Idaho and Key Biscayne, Florida, peacefully passed away surrounded by family on July 30, 2022.
Bob was born on June 22, 1943, in Brooklyn, New York to James and Connie Molinari, and was raised on Coney Island where he fell in love with the ocean. He never lost his Brooklyn accent or forgave the Dodgers for their move to Los Angeles.
Bob was a 1961 graduate of Brooklyn Technical High School and received his Bachelor of Science degree from The City College of New York in 1965. He then entered the graduate program in oceanography at Texas A&M University where he earned his Master of Science in 1968 and Ph.D. in 1970. Bob always laughed at the fact that he did not realize before arriving there that Texas A&M was, at the time, an all-male university. While studying in Texas, Bob also joined the United States Marine Corps Reserve and served for six years.
