I was heartbroken to hear about the passing of our very own Mike Marino. He truly was a local community favorite, a hometown hero, and a brilliant comedian who never forgot where he came from. Whether he was performing on global stages or giving his time back to Scotch Plains, he brought so much laughter and pride to our town. I am incredibly grateful for the moment I got to meet him and share a laugh, as captured in this photo. Thank you for a lifetime of joy and for always keeping it unapologetically Jersey, Mike. You will be deeply missed by your neighbors and fans alike. Keeping his family and loved ones in my thoughts.
