Carcieri orders flags lowered in honor of Judge Gallant

Governor Carcieri today ordered state flags lowered to half-staff in honor of retired Rhode Island Superior Court Judge Eugene G. Gallant, who died Monday.

Flags will stay that way through Saturday.

“Judge Gallant devoted most of his life to public service,” Carcieri said in a statement. “He epitomized the American success story, a self-made man who earned the respect of his peers and also gave back to a community in need. He will be missed.”
