After a distinguished career in both public service and in the private sector, former Mayor Leo McCabe of Glassboro has passed away, surrounded by family.

“Leo McCabe spent 17 years reshaping Glassboro into the city we know. Even if you didn’t know his name, you saw and experienced the significant ways he made our Borough better. Leo was integral to the revitalization of downtown Glassboro and successfully led our Council and all Borough departments to expand Glassboro’s significant regional impact,” said current Mayor John E. Wallace III. "Not only was he an incredibly humble man, he was also a civic leader who was a champion for human rights and civil harmony. We will be forever in his debt.”
