I met Dan Devine when he first arrived at Notre Dame. I was fortunate enough to have been president of the ND Alumni Board at the time and consequently got to know him rather quickly.

The Notre Dame community has lost one of its own. Dan Devine was a mentor and role model to many. He will be sorely missed.

God Bless You Coach,

I recall see you at Mass during the week at Sacred Heart on campus .. some of those days were cold and yes very warm with the Spirit of our Lord closs by blessing you. Another awesome memory is that beautiful victory in Houston. I visited the dressing room after the game with Governor Bowen, is wife Beth, and my son Scott. You are a true credit to our ND heritage.
