Funeral Services were held Thursday at Immaculate Conception Church for Washington County District Attorney Gene Vittone. Vittone, who was sixty-one, died Saturday after a year-long battle with lung cancer. A procession from the Warco-Falvo Funeral Home stopped in front of the Washington County Courthouse to allow the county’s judges and others who were close to Vittone to join and continue on to the church. Vittone had served as district attorney since 2012, after 12 years as an assistant district attorney. Vittone leaves behind his wife Jane Ann and two children. Jason Walsh, the county’s first assistant district attorney says he has been notified that he will be filling out Vittone’s term, but said he’s not concentrating on that now. He says the focus needs to be on Vittone’s family.
