The Middlesex County community is mourning the loss of Greg Tufaro, a devoted father and husband, longtime journalist, community advocate, and founder of the Marisa Tufaro Foundation.
Greg’s passing has left family, friends, colleagues, and community organizations remembering a man whose generosity and dedication touched countless lives.
For years, Greg supported Hands Of Hope in numerous ways, helping the organization serve local families and children in need. He helped collect toys so children supported by the organization could have gifts to open during the holiday season.
Through the Marisa Tufaro Foundation, Greg also sponsored more than 60 local high school athletes to participate in the organization’s Tee Off Against Hunger tournament, helping support an important community cause while providing opportunities for young athletes.
His commitment to helping others extended into his journalism career. As a writer, Greg repeatedly used his platform to highlight the mission of Hands Of Hope, bring attention to community needs, and encourage others to support neighbors facing difficult circumstances.
Greg Tufaro Remembered for His Humility
Those who worked with Greg say he never sought recognition for the things he did for others.
Rather than placing himself at the center of the causes he supported, he preferred the attention to remain on the organizations, families, and communities he was trying to help.
That humility became one of the qualities that made him so respected and admired.
His work demonstrated that community service does not always require recognition. For Greg, helping others was something he believed should simply be done.
A Lasting Community Legacy
Greg Tufaro leaves behind a legacy built not only through his journalism but also through years of service and generosity.
As the founder of the Marisa Tufaro Foundation, he helped create opportunities for young people and supported initiatives that made a difference in the community.

Friends and colleagues will remember his willingness to contribute his time, resources, and voice whenever he believed a cause deserved support.
The news of Greg’s passing has therefore been felt deeply by organizations and individuals who benefited from his kindness.
