Well, here we go again. It looks like the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has decided to clamp down and shut down businesses again.
COVID-19 has gotten out of control once more and this time, it seems to be hitting home.
Early in in the spring, we all heard of the pandemic’s devastation, but it really didn’t affect too many of us in Greater Pittston. The majority of cases came out of Hazleton and some in Wilkes-Barre, but for us in Dispatch land, it was minimal.
Deaths early on in the pandemic affected the elderly pretty severely, but after the first shutdown, the numbers slowed. It appears we’ve come full swing again and nursing homes are being affected and this time in Greater Pittston.
James A. Nocito, 92, of West Pittston, passed away Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2020.
Born in Pittston Twp. on June 22, 1928, he was the son of the late Frank and Mary Ardo Nocito.
In 1945, he graduated from Pittston Twp. High School and thereafter enrolled at the University of Scranton. However, within three weeks of his 18th birthday, he left school and enlisted in the United States Army and served as a military policeman in occupied Japan. He was awarded a World War II Victory Medal and the Army of Occupation Medal for his service.
After his honorable discharge from the Army, he returned home and worked at Detatoâs Market and later at Acme Markets, Pittston. He then spent over 40 years in the insurance business before retiring.
