Not sure what to say?

Dear Pat & Family,

So sorry to hear about Johnny's passing.
He went through so much and was able to
come back.

Just know that he is at peace and in
heaven now.

Love to you all,

Joan Hutchinson

To the family of Mr. McDevitt, pease accept my condolences.

Dear Mr. McDevitt,
Thank you for your career advice while I was a SHS Class of 1978 student. More importantly, thank you for your encouragement while I was working on the requirements for Eagle Scout.

I was working on my Eagle project, a Rails to Trails bike path for the town of Swampscott. I had laid out a trail with my fellow Troop 54 scouts, Jody and Marc Barden, Howie Stoll, Kapp, Roger and others....

Our deepest condolences to the McDevitt family. Both Peter and I have many great memories of "Mr. McDevitt" from Swampscott High School to snowmobiling with Sean in Millinocket. I'll never forget those short ribs he made for us. May he rest peacefully.

A memorable part of my education in the Swampscott School system. Will miss you Jack.

I still remember what he taught us in seventh grade guidance class 51 years ago, and I still bring it up to my students even now.
