Los Angeles—Morgan Fabrics Chairman and CEO Michael Gittelson died Tuesday evening., July 12 from heart complications.
“Michael had been dealt the hand of a weakened heart, one that ultimately could not keep up with his zest for a full life and his love of Morgan Fabrics,” according to a company-made statement.
