Carmyn M. Molaro

Carmyn Molaro of Lindenhurst, NY passed away March 4, 2026, just shy of his 87th birthday. Carmyn was born in Brooklyn, NY on March 23,1939 to Camille and Carl Molaro. He attended Sewanhaka High School and went on to receive an Associate’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from SUNY Farmingdale

Carmyn met his soulmate when he was 14 years old while working at her father’s luncheonette. At 21 years of age, he married Mary Ann Pelle on May 15th 1960, and they celebrated 65 years of marriage in May 2025. They purchased a home in 1961 in North Babylon NY and lived there for 28 years.

Together they had 3 children, Christine, Gregory and Lori. His first job after college was at Schnieder & Heckle’s machine shop. At age 30 he and his partner James Rushforth started “Rushforth & Molaro” Lawn Sprinklers and later added Rapid Fuel Oil based out of Amityville NY.

Carmyn was an avid boater. His first boat was a 20 ft Bayliner named “Daddy’s Toy” which was docked in Babylon NY. Later in 1987, he and Mary Ann built their dream home on a river/canal in Lindenhurst NY. Here the next several boats were kept on their dock. “Daddy’s Toy 2”, a 28ft Winner, then the “Lady MaryAnn” a 33 ft Viking with a 19ft Renkin called “The Little Boat”. Next came “Knot Shore” a 29 ft Sea Ray…and lastly a 22 ft Stingray (unnamed)

Carmyn was extremely proud to be a member and officer of the Great South Bay Power Squadron. He was a very active member, attended meetings and outings, he was on the auditing committee, was a safety officer and was an active participant of the group since 1976. He was honored last year in Florida for his 50 years of membership. His pride and joy was being named Flag Lieutenant of the Power Squadron and took that position very seriously and loved every minute of it.
