It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of Richard Blassberg, A great man and a Journalist and fighter for Justice. I admired him and his work and he was a journalist mentor of mine. He will be missed and missed by me. He worked with Westchester Guardian Newspaper and also Home News and Times and Also wrote the book - The Jeanine Machine and also worked at the Deskovic Foundation as well as working with Tony Castro in his races for Westchester County District Attorney. He is now with my friend the Late James Wieland and Mr. Ralph Martinelli. I will continue to expose what goes on in his good name and that's the name of Richard Blassberg. He always wrote the absolute truth about people like Zehy Jereis and others of Team Corruption in his many columns. God Bless you my friend and my mentor in Journalism. Condolences to Richard's Family.

Well Said Delfim. Condolences to his family
ReplyDeletemy absolute honor. richard was my mentor for being a journalist. i knew him many years. not too many people know that. sometimes it's better to keep associations silent until the time is right. i celebrate all of his writings and all the articles he wrote exposing these corrupt people we have in political world, people like zehy jereis.
