A veteran former Franklin County judge died this week from COVID-19. 78-year-old Judge Patrick McGrath of Dublin passed away Wednesday night at an area hospital, where he had been undergoing treatment for a month. A celebration of life is planed for this summer. McGrath retired in 2011, but continued to preside over cases in the Ohio Court of Claims.
