As a former student (early 70's) Mr. Mollin made music enjoyable and fun! So glad we were able to catch up with him in 09 at our 6th grade class reunion! R.I.P., for I am sure you are leading the choir in heaven.

The entire Santucci family has such great memories of music class with Mr Mollin. We still belt out â??Mr. Mollin songsâ? and smile and reminisce. He truly had a gift. May his memory live on forever.

Wonderful, sweet Jim always brought a smile and much joy to my days at Symphony. He would great me with a joke or a tune and brighten up my day instantly. Always positive and so modest. He touched so many of us at Symphony with his strength, courage, and zest for life. I will miss you dearly, piano man!

Mr. Mollin was my first music teacher. I had such a great time in his class * always looked forward to it. I was just telling my granddaughter at breakfast THIS morning about him. What a record player was & how he taught us rhythm with his 1, 2, 3, 4 & threw the whiffle ball on 1 and the student who caught it threw it back. I will really miss him & remember him the rest of my lifeð??¥ð??¢

I was Jim’s neighbor,
He was an amazing musician. He could sit down at the piano and play and improvise any song
