Thomas J. Devitt

I was a very good friend of Tom when he lived in Sioux City and he took piano tuning at Western Iowa Tech. I found out about Tom's passing tonight, 15 years later. I have always missed him. I wish Tom eternal life.

My pool of lifelong friends has been greatly diminished by Tom's passing.I can't remember a time when we were not friends.Together,we traveled life's path.For the past few years he and I have spoken long-distance 2-3 times a month,and with our conversations I again learned how important it is to have true friends.I will always miss him.My deep sympathies to his family and friends.We have lost someone irreplacable.

Another good guy gone from the old St. Augustine's gang. My sympathies to all of Tom's family.

I learned too late. As a life-long friend,I am stunned and greatly saddened. I speak for my entire family when I say that Tom was special to us. We always set a plate for Tom on Thanksgiving and Christmas, even when we knew he was in SF and not likely to appear.Tom taught me what a sense of humor was and what it meant to have a true friend in the family.I will miss him.
