By Staff report Flags around the state Capitol and in Preston and Tucker counties will fly at half-staff Thursday from dawn to dusk in remembrance of the late Delegate Tony Lewis.

After serving for 26 years with the West Virginia National Guard and deploying for Operation Desert Storm and Operation Enduring Freedom, Lewis won a seat in the House of Delegates in 2016. In a statement released after his death, House Speaker Tim Armstead, R-Kanawha, paid tribute to his colleague. "He was a devoted family man, and a faithful and hard-working public servant," he said.
