Paul Thomas Devine

Mr Devine was a great teacher and mentor, always encouraging and pushing you to be your best. He was also very caring of his students and always went above and beyond to listen and help. He will be missed. Prayers for his family and friends during this time.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

D'Eette, I have known the both of you professionally for many years. Paul was always kind and contributed much to my own professional life. If I could find the words to express myself to you, I would be a poet laureate myself. I think of you often and am hopeful your life will heal. I say this because I can picture Paul saying this to me.

Dear Dr Devine, we were so sorry to hear of your loss. And what a joy to read all of Paul's accomplishments and commitment to creative and inspiring education. You have been such an inspiration in our lives and what you have given still lives on today. I am certain there are an army of Paul's students who can say the same thing. May you be comforted by this legacy and know you are very loved. We send our heartfelt condolences from the Indian Ocean ...

It has been said that through the giving of oneself to others, we truly live a good life. If this true, and I believe it to be so, Paul lived an incredibly good life because he gave so much to others. Rest in peace my Friend.

Too many stores to tell that produce serial laughter. We never seem to spend enough time with those we love. My heart and thoughts are with you, D’ette and Suzie and Paul during these difficult days.

The world needs more Paul Devines. Thoughts of him will always remind me to be of service to others, to be kind, and to enjoy the simple things. I fondly remember a number of vacations and trips with Paul and D’ette. Godspeed.

Sorry to hear about Paul’s death. I worked with Paul at Northeast High School and values his expertise in vocational education. Susan Arruda

D'Ette, so very sorry to read of Paul's passing. Les and I send our deepest sympathies to you and your family.
