At the direction of Governor Tom Corbett, all Pennsylvania flags in the Capitol Complex and at Commonwealth facilities statewide are to be lowered to half-staff immediately, in honor of State Representative Dick L. Hess, who passed away on September 6 at the age of 74. Representative Hess was elected in 1987, representing Fulton County, as well as portions of Bedford & Huntingdon Counties. Flags shall remain at half-staff through interment.
An update will be sent out when the funeral date has been set. US flags are to remain at full-staff.
All Pennsylvanians are authorized to join in this tribute. |
