| Description | Former Nassau Republican chairman and power broker Joseph Margiotta died on Friday at St. Francis Hospital in Roslyn. He was 81.
Margiotta had been hospitalized since Sunday when he indicated that he was feeling tired, said Mitchell Charchalis, his grandson.
"Joe was a true believer in the Republican Party and its principles and will be long remembered for the central role he played in the county's history," said Joseph Mondello, the state and Nassau GOP chairman, who was Margiotta's hand-picked successor to run the once-dominant party.
Margiotta was influential in Long Island politics for decades, heading the county Republican empire from 1968 to 1983. Earlier, he was a six-term state assemblyman, representing Uniondale.
