Devaney Family,
Tom will be missed by many...know that he was loved by all and that there will be many things that will remind us of him as well.
Although many were not truly related to him, we knew him as "grandpa'" in the best sense of the word!
May you find peace in knowing he will be missed often, and was loved by many friends...

Carole: We were saddened to learn of Tom's death. These are always difficult events to encounter and, as much as we think we are prepared for them, we never truly are. Know that he is at rest with the Lord. We will keep you and the family in our prayers.

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Tom. I grew up right next door to the Devaney's in Blaine. Went to school with Jimmy. You all were great neighbor's to have. I have a lot of fond memories of all of those times. Tom, Carole and all the kids. I lost my dad quite a few years ago now and know how hard of a time it is. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you!
