I had the privilege of learning from Dr Molotiu 19 years ago- a month of concentrated airway training which has been invaluable to my career. I am forever indebted. Sincerest condolences to his family.
It is with great sadness that I learn of the passing of Nic. My thoughts and prayers go out to Maria and his sons whom he was so proud of. I had the great privilege of working with him and feel honoured to call him my friend. We enjoyed many moments on the operating room. He was hard working and always had the patients best interests. When he retired, he was truly missed. Rest In Peace.
Please accept our sincere condolences. Thinking of you all at this difficult time. He will be missed. Kathy and Jim Kersey, Strathroy.
We are so sad to have lost our dear friend Nic - God rest his soul in eternal peace and happiness! He was such a wonderful man and a great friend to us and many others. He was always ready to help, and few are the ones in the Romanian community that have not benefited from his advise or actual help. Our heart and good thoughts go out to Mariuca and family - God bless you all! May God give you the strength to go through these terrible times and loss, and may He offer you the consolation of happy memories from your life with Nic. Safe journey to Heaven, our dear friend Nic! We will miss you so much, and will always remember your great sense of humor, our friendship and the numerous happy times we spent together! LOVE, Georgeta & Radu Ciobanu
As an Anesthesiologist at University Hospital I met Nic while he was needing to get experience to meet certification requirements after his immigration to Canada. He was very capable and provided care to patients in Strathroy for about 22 years. He also assisted my wife Cathy and I along with his father in law Mr. Poro, in the adoption of our daughter, Maria from Romania in 1991. We are very grateful for Nic and Maria's help in this endeavour as we now have a 2 year old grandson and our Maria is doing well. Please accept our condolences on Nic's passing. Gord and Cathy Sellery

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Molotiu for several years at SMGH. I could always count on him for a story and a smile. My condolences to his family. His presence will be sorely missed.
