RIP Mike Gelbwasser

I am saddened to learn of the death this morning (Aug. 13) of former Marlborough Patch Editor Michael Gelbwasser. Mike had bravely battled cancer for more than a year.
Mike and I were both editors with Patch for a few years and worked together in Marlborough for several months. I had a great deal of respect for his passion for the work and for his journalistic integrity. He was an award-winning journalist but moreover, he was a good man. The world doesn’t have enough of those. He will be missed.
