Kenneth Molloy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kenneth Dennis Molloy was a notably well-known and popular personality among the residents of his hometown, Manhasset. He is respected for his exploits as an All-American athlete and a judge on the New York State Supreme Court, and admired for his general affability.
Beyond this local fame, Molloy is renowned virtually nationwide for his role in the cultivation of Jim Brown's legendary athletic talent. When the coaching staffs at Syracuse University did not offer a scholarship to Brown, Molloy amassed enough money to pay for Brown’s first year and obtained a promise from the school that if Brown was as talented as said to be, he would be put on scholarship.
He died in 1998. His son, Kenneth Molloy, and grandson, Kenneth Thomas Molloy, are named after him.
