I am so sad to hear of Ed's passing. I have gone back to work for Verizon and still remember Ed as my CO Foreman in Somerville Ma. Ed is the kindest and best person I have ever worked for or even met for that matter. My long career always led me back to remembering Ed. I still see that smiling face and the solid advice he always gave me in getting through my career. Ed never had a bad word on anyone, or never let that smile down. Talk about humor, he was always telling jokes and with that look!!..Ed is in hi special position for the main man upstairs I am sure and hope to one day see him again. please accept my late condolences to the whole family and know he is till thought of often by many. God Bless you all.

Mr. McDevitt gave me a few rides to join the family up in Seabrook, NH. He was always quick with a laugh and patient with giggling teenage girls. I'm thankful for the happy beach memories with Christine and the whole family. Sending my deepest condolences to Christine, Meghan and the McDevitt/McGrath families.
