Not sure what to say?

Charlie you will always be in my heart. Daytop gave me a new start in life and I will always be thankful to my Daytop family.

My deepest sympathy R.I.P. Charley

I didn't know you personally but the work you did was know for recovery of all! I am glad you were around to offer that work for us all. Peace be with you!

Mister Daytop, as Charlie was affectionately known to those who knew him, lived the classic success story life. He rose from the gutters in the streets of Brooklyn to become Daytop's first inpatient resident back in 1963, and climbed the ranks to Senior Vice President and CEO within the organization before retiring at the top of his game after 48 years. Along the way he met and married his soul mate, Whitney, and together they raised two sons creating a loving family that he was very proud...

Charlie was one of the most compassionate people I have ever know. His guidance and wise counsel helped 1000s into recovery. RIP

My sincere, heartfelt condolences are with you Whitney and the 'boys'. It was an honor to have worked with Mr. Devlin a truly great person, words cannot express my shock and surprise to hear of his passing. To me he seemed invincible...a giant...unforgettable...You are all in my prayers.

In Paradise, the dead will rise and be reunited with their loved ones

May the love of friends and family be there for each other during this time of grieving.

Charlie inspired many of us with his warmth, his wisdom and his infectious laugh.

The field of substance use disorders would not be what it is today without Charlie's ideas, energy and insights.

My sincere condolences to Whitney, Jason and Eric.

A friend and colleague since 1965
