Governor Carney’s Full Statement:
“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.”
