NORTH BRUNSWICK – Former North Brunswick Mayor Sylvester Paladino has passed away.
“It was with greatest sadness that we learned yesterday [Nov. 25] of the passing of North Brunswick’s former mayor and councilman, Sylvester Paladino. Sal was a beloved leader in our community and a friend to all. His bright personality and quick smile will be greatly missed,” Mayor Francis “Mac” Womack said.
