Memories and Condolences
for JOHN DEVIR
September 17, 2019
To the entire Devir family my deepest condolences.
I knew both John & Charlotte & they were two of the nicest & warmest people I ever met. Part of the Greatest Generation this country has ever known. They were best friends of my beloved aunt Barb & uncle Vin.
I always loved seeing them over @ their house.
I was proud when I graduated from WIT (BCS 72) to find out that John & I were fellow alumni as well as fellow Edgeworth residents.
My love goes out to the whole family. A better life never lived !
Sincerely,
Bobby Battistello

We are so very sorry for your loss. We only had the pleasure meeting him one time, it was a hot day and many margaritas were shared, I think of him every time I make that same recipe! All the Devir family are in our thoughts and prayers.

To James, Dan, Ann Mary, and John--Please accept my sincere
condolences on the loss of your father. I knew John and
Charlotte and you all from family parties years ago and also from visits to Molly's cottage at Saquish with family when I was a teenager. (I am Mary Anne Gowen, and I believe we are second cousins. I am related through the Thatcher side of the family.). I am retired from MIT and there was a period of time when John worked there, and I enjoyed seeing him in the halls now and then.
Thinking of you.

My parents often mentioned the warmth and generosity that John and Charlotte and the whole Devir clan extended to them years ago on their one visit; they always remembered it. I hope all four of them are at rest together. So sorry for your loss.
Rest easy
