Peter and I would like to send our thoughts and prayers to the family at this sad time. Jim was a wonderful husband, father and cousin. We will always remember his wonderful smile at family gatherings. With deep affection, Peter and Mary Beth Kelligrew

I worked with Mr. Devine for years at Kiley Law Firm and continued to have a good relationship with him for the past 20 years. He enjoyed going to lunch with myself and his former partner, Jim Betro. We will miss him. RIP Smiley.

So sorry to hear this. We both go way back, having known him (and worked for him) for many years. Prayers for him and the family.

I knew him in his capacity as a lawyer. I found him down to earth, easy to talk to, and wise. I noted his willingness to help others beyond what was generally expected or required. Over many years he was a great asset to our community through his involvement in many civic projects. God bless him, and my condolences to his family and friends.
