All my memories of Al are of him being the most kindly southern gentleman the south has ever known. Always a friendly smile, which you knew was genuine and impeccable manners. If you were feeling a little downbeat on a Sunday morning Al could pick your spirits up with his sincerity. Al has been missed and will always be missed and loved. Dianne and Paul Zobel

I became fortunate enough to have been introduced to Al through Michael and Christy Niekro years ago. His personality was warm and welcoming and could be described best as a true southern gentleman! I am sure all who have met him would come away with the same feeling. Rest in peace Al. You will be dearly missed.

My deepest sympathies are with all of Mr. Molony´s family. I will always remember him telling me stories of how he remembered me as a child growing up in Rotherwood, and would even share some of those stories with my co-workers when I´d worked with him at SC Federal (he was, in fact, instrumental into beginning my career in banking). He was always so kind and always had a smile on his face. He´ll be missed by all who knew and loved him.

In absolute shock, Al was and will always be remembered as a complete southern gentleman, kind , caring and always gracious. He always had that wonderful smile that could raise your spirits every time we met. May God put his loving arms around Jackie and all his family and friends who are going to miss him dearly. RIP our beloved Al, Paul and Dianne Zobel

Dear Jackie and all of Al's children, grands, great grands, and all the rest of his family.
So sorry for the loss of Al. I remember when Jackie and Al got married in Reno a ways back. We have missed the both of you at the bowling alley and the friendship too. I know it is hard but, Al has his wings now and has been reunited with all the ones that went before him. We know that at a time like this you all will feel loss and the well wishes of family and friends. Just remember we will always think of him and relish the time that we spent with him. May God bless all of you and help you through this time of grief but also the joy of knowing he is in heaven and watching over all of you.
