Guy Molinari, a former congressman, borough president and lasting influence over Staten Island and citywide Republican politics has died, according to the borough’s Republican party.
Molinari, 89, was the dean of the Staten Island GOP — even as he often feuded with some of its elected officials. His name, which is emblazoned on the side of a ferryboat in the Staten Island Ferry fleet, loomed large in nearly every borough political matter.
His support of Rudy Giuliani helped him become mayor and their close relationship paid dividends for Staten Island. While Giuliani was mayor and Molinari was borough president, Islanders saw the end of the charge to ride the Staten Island Ferry — under the “one city, one fare” effort — and the closure of the hated Fresh Kills Landfill, which took in all the city’s trash.

This was a great man. “Staten Island’s grandfather,” as he was often called.
RIP.
OK. I see he was 89.
Makes sense. No reason to suspect Arkancide or anything.
He had a daughter names Susan IIRC who was cute as can be.
Yes , recall her election to replace her dad. March 1990
Agreed!
May he rest in peace.
I use to have a crush on her.
LOL...I did too...and I was a married man!
(hope my wife doesn’t see this - yikes!)
Susan was marrying material.
You’re forgiven (haha)...no, I agree with you she seemed like a fun gal and not totally a moonbat but she did nothing for me in the looks dept like Susan Molinari did.
Dee Dee Meyers? Her twitter pic is ok but her hairdo back in the 90’s was.....
Sometimes I too get it for a chick that’s not all that attractive, just something about them.
Much RIP to Mr. Molinari, he sounded like a strong leader for SI Republicans.
