    To the family of David M. Molesky,

    Our deepest sympathies go out to your family. David was a great friend to us and a fierce competitive eater. We all had fun together in the early days of the IFOCE, helping to help form the organized competitive eating organization. We will miss you David, we had lots of laughs and good times together.

    Your friends, Kevin and Lorraine Lipsitz

    May he rest in peace, may his family be comforted and keep the good memories he created close to their hearts.
    The link for expressing condolences follows as I am not sure that expressions of sympathy written here would find their way to his family.

    Watching Nathans hotdog eating contest in memory of my dad “Moe Ribs” Molesky…
    I just found this after all these years he’s been gone. Thank you for all the kind comments, he was a character and is greatly missed. Can someone tell me if my dad ever competed in the actual Nathans 4th of July contest? He has a belt that he won, but I think it might of been from Vegas?
