Joe Molinaro (pictured here in 2018 with wife Claudia) is the youngest of 12 children born to Salvatore and Vincenzia Molinaro, immigrants from Calabria, who changed the family surname to “Miller.” Salvatore supported the family with a grocery store, a construction business and a moving company. He was also known for wine-making and for founding the popular Poundstown football club.

The name of the Poundstown football club, founded by Salvatore (Molinaro) Miller in the 1930s, was later changed to “Washington Generals.”
