George Latimer, Westchester County Executive had this to say about Mr. Liebson’s career:
“All of Westchester County mourns the passing of longtime Journal News reporter Rich Liebson. Rich was a talented writer who put all of his being into following and investigating stories that mattered to the people of Westchester.
Rich had a number of beats over the years working for The Journal News, from education to government to public safety. A White Plains resident, he kept us all informed and engaged as a beat reporter– for that we can never thank him enough. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this very difficult time.”
Peter Katz, the longtime ABC television reporter and editor knew Mr. Liebson and shared this thought about the reporter’s life:
“I knew him not only as a top-notch journalist, but also as a decent and honorable person. He knew how to report a story accurately, fairly, interestingly and always with the highest ethical standards. “
