Tad Devine

I have fond memories of Tad throw Van Nuys HS. We were both in the same HS CLUB that met at Andy´s home. We are 3 months different in age. Both competed in sports. I married Betty Grove another VNHS GRADUATE. IM 90 and Betty is 89

He sounds like a fascinating person. We are enjoying his father's Westerns on TV today causing me to look up the family history. Sorry for your loss, but what a gift you had through his lifetime of achievements and interests.

RIP Ranchero. My favorite memory was telling Tad about my experience as a young boy meeting his father Andy at Crystal plunge, a local swimming hole is southern California. I told Tad the story of his father buying candy for us kids at the plunge and how kind and generous he was to us. Tad smiled and recalled crystal plunge and his early childhood enjoying time there. He thanked me for sharing the memory. God Bless you Tad and be sure to thank Andy for the memories.

I had the great pleasure of working briefly with Lt. Devine in the navy. I was a helicopter crewman and the Lt. and his UDT crew were tasked withe blowing a channel in a reef off of Samoa. We flew them every day from PagoPago to the reef. He was a great guy. Funny to no end and could tell some tales. His gang called him "Jingles Junior" and he loved it. I'm sad to hear of his passing and may he rest in peace in the loving arm of our Lord.

My deepest sympathies for the loss of a true gentleman and friend. It has been my honor to know TAD and Donna for forty plus years. I treasure the memory of our many long, long (well it was TAD!) and interesting talks.

Loved Tad, loved our talks, and his wisdom. Met him at a function, with my best friend, Johnny Walker was a guest speaker. Johnny had been an interpreter for the Navy SEALs in Iraq, and learned English from watching John Wayne movies, so meeting Tad was a glorious day for us. Great man that lived a great life

I had the pleasure to know Tad and his father Andy. I met Tad at Rancheros Visitadores and was able to share with him my experience with his father. I met Andy at a southern California community swimming pool (Chrystal Plunge) when I was a young boy. I shared with Tad that his father was very kind and bought candy for me and a group of kids while at the plunge on several occasions. Tad shared that they lived very close to the plunge and that his father enjoyed swimming there. I enjoyed my...

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
