Governor John Carney has ordered Delaware flags to be lowered to half-staff at all state facilities on Friday, June 7, 2024, to honor former State Representative and Wilmington City Councilman Joseph G. Di Pinto on the day of his interment.

“Tracey and I were saddened to hear about Joe Di Pinto’s passing. He was one of the best – a real gentleman and an effective legislator and advocate for Wilmington. Like me, he was a product of Claymont. I considered him a good friend and mentor. He was a fiscal leader for the state government and I learned a lot from him while I was Secretary of Finance. Our hearts go out to Pat and Joe’s family and friends. We are keeping them in our thoughts.”
