Dear DeVoe family. There isn't a day that goes by where Mr Devoe doesn't cross my mind. He was such a wonderful man. Comparable to my father Jim. God fearing, loyal to the core. You're all still in my thoughts and prayers. Fondly, Patricia Snyder - Hatfield

Just wanted to let you know that I am praying for you and Amy. I know he meant so much to all. He was very kind to our family and understood what we were facing with a child with autism. He will be missed but know that he is with our savior.

To the Devoe Family,

I am grieving with you during this very difficult time. My brother Michael Beane was the pilot of the plane. I know that all involved in this tragedy are in Heaven with the God.

Jim was the father of my dear friend Amy. He was a devoted and loving family man and I will miss him as a part of the Devoe family.

Please know you are in hearts and prayers. I know what a great loss this is to you all. May God give you peace and wrap his arms around you. Find strength in each other and know how much you are loved.

Jeff and I were shocked and saddened to hear of your loss! We have been praying for you, and will continue to pray. We feel blessed to have known your family!

My prayers go out to the entire DeVoe family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire DeVoe family.

My heart aches at the passing of Jim. I have thought of many memories the pass few days that I have of Jim from the 6 years that I worked with him as his personal trainer and they are all good ones.
Andy, I still remember the letter of encouragement you wrote me back in 1985 and how it gave me comfort and how Jim was always ready to go to bat for me. It meant a lot to me. It is my prayer that the love of our Lord Jesus will give you and the rest of the family a peace that can only come...
