Dear Michael, Mark, Chris and Family,
It is with a very sad heart that I express my sincere condolences and deep Sympathy on the passing of my dear FRIEND and COLLEAGUE at Medford High School for decades.
He was the salt of the earth and always ready with a greeting smile and short anecdote to follow that would always keep us smiling ...
May he rest in peace in Heaven with his truly loving wife Jane. !
Am in Florida and regret not being able to attend funereal ceremonies.
Our hearts and prayers are with you. !

Although I didn´t have Mr. McDevitt as a teacher (1976-1980), somehow every time that I would see him in the hallway I would always get a "hello" or a good luck during the football season.
Sending the entire family our deepest condolences and prayers.
