Governor Tom Wolf on Monday, ordered the commonwealth flag on all state facilities, public buildings and grounds in Washington County to fly at half-staff immediately, to honor Washington County District Attorney Gene Vittone, who died Saturday, following a battle with lung cancer. Vittone had served as district attorney since 2012, after 12 years as an assistant district attorney. Vittone, who was sixty-one-years-old, leaves behind his wife Jane Ann and two children. A viewing is scheduled on Wednesday from two until eight o’clock at the Warco-Falvo Funeral Home in Washington. Vittone’s funeral service will be held at ten o’clock Thursday morning at Immaculate Conception Church in Washington. 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.
