William J. “Bill” Molitorisz, Jr., 66, of Pensacola, Florida, passed away on May 28, 2026. Born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on November 24, 1959, Bill was a proud graduate of Liberty High School and a veteran of the United States Army.

Anyone who knew Bill knew him as a legendary prankster — you were either the one getting pranked or part of the prank. His humor was constant, contagious, and unforgettable. He made everyone around him laugh, and his presence brought warmth and joy wherever he went.

Bill was a loving son, brother, uncle, and friend. He will be deeply missed by his siblings: Lori Reiss, wife of Butch; Michael, partner of Brenda; and Jeffrey, husband of Mariel. He will also be missed by his nephews and niece: Bryan, Lauren, Justin, and Colin.

He was preceded in death by his parents, William Sr. and Dorothy (Pavelko) Molitorisz.

Bill was a passionate and loyal employee of Yamaha Motor Corporation, where he dedicated many years of service. Outside of work, he was happiest at the beach — relaxing in the sun any chance he got, enjoying the peace and simplicity of the shoreline he loved.

Bill’s laughter, kindness, and unmistakable spirit will be remembered always.

His ashes will be lovingly scattered at a later time, in a place meaningful to his life.
