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.”

I would like proudly thank the Glassboro Police Department, Fire Department, and Gloucester County EMS for their rapid, professional, and expert handling of this potentially life-threatening situation. The Borough’s tactical proficiency and fortitude combined with the Glassboro Public School District personnel, most notably Superintendent Dr. Mark J. Silverstein, Chief Academic Officer Danielle Sochor, and Glassboro High School Principal Dr. Danielle Sneathen, proved to be determining factors in quickly disseminating public information and providing care and shelter for students and residents that were evacuated to safety. To the residents and the students and staff from the Dorothy L. Bullock Elementary School that were displaced during this incident, thank you all for your patience, tolerance and understanding throughout the day.
