Not sure what to say?

Cecil and I were privilaged to meet Bill at the reacativation ceremony for the 4th Bn. 23rd Infantry. He was a very neat fella and shared a lot of memories with my hubby who had served from 65 to 66 with the Battalion in Viet Nam. Bill was a true Tomahawk and my hubby is honored to be called a Tomahawk with Bill.
To his family: thanks for sharing him with us.

Thanks for everything you did to help the Redington family and for being a special friend.

You were a special friend of my Dad and Mom and the Redington family. We will all miss you.
Joee and Pam

We will miss Bill, he was a part of the Redington Family since he became interested in the Iditarod.
He gave encouragement, support and advice, he was loyal to his friends and belief's. We are all blessed for his friendship and knowing Bill Devine.

I am sorry for the loss of a great man and soldier who continued serving his Nation until the end. SGT Devine came forward to welcome fully the activation of 4-23Infantry Tomahawks in Anchorage. Bill was a true Tomahawk and I value his Tomahawk print he made and signed for every soldier. Rest in peace, "We Serve"

I am very sorry to hear of your Dads passing Billy. I always wanted to make it back to Anchorage to see you guys again. I still plan on making it soon. I have read lots of articles on your Dad over the years. He was and still is a very loved man. He made his "Mark" in Anchorage forever. I am proud to have a lot of his early art work via my parents. Take care..miss you guys.

condolences to his family.

A true gentleman, Bill lived his values and gave to the community around him. He left this world a better place indeed. I am greatful to have known him and to have been blessed by his talents. Bill did the photography for out engagement and wedding, and never took a penny for it. Talking with Bill always lifted my mood. We miss him but rejoice in knowing that he has moved on to a better place. God Bless!
