Former Newsday copy editor Richard Rosenberg passed away, aged 65, following a battle with Parkinson’s disease.
Rosenberg had been with the newspaper from 1989 to 2014.
Rosenberg graduated from Northeastern University and had newspaper jobs in Alabama and New Jersey before joining Newsday.
“Rich had a wonderful dry wit, and he was a terrific nuanced headline writer,” said Jonalyn Schuon, a co-worker and now assistant news editor on Newsday’s business desk. “Any Newsday reader in the decades he worked on the copy desk can be sure that some of his headlines made them laugh, smile or think.”
His wife Einstein-Rosenberg added:
“He was a true newspaper guy. He loved the news, he loved the newspaper. At the end I always kept a newspaper on the table and I think that was a comforting thing for him.”
