To the Devinney Family:
My most sincere and heartfelt condolences to you on the news of Mr. Devinney 's passing...albeit somewhat late in posting. I grew up with and remember Tim as one of my childhood friends along with the Horvatich family in Plum Way and remember that Mr. Devinney worked the late shift and having to keep the noise down. I didn't know that Don was a Korean War era Navy Veteran and that he served aboard the historic USS Wisconsin. Please allow me to extend to the family my deepest sympathy...May Mr. Donald Devinney Rest in Eternal Peace and may your family know that you are being kept in thought and prayer.

Don was a good guy, worked with him, years ago, at U S Steel building. Always happy go lucky but serious when he needed to be. Liked him, he was a likeable person.

To the Devinney family I'm sorry for your loss. I worked with Don at the US. Steel Building and also AGH. We parked cars at the Park Schenley restaurant in Oakland when we were laid off. We shared many laughs over the years. May you rest in peace Don.
