We were classmates at medical school. Shocking to see. That Ed is deceased! He was bright, amicable, focused and a very caring person. Gone way too soon! Ed RIP

I went to The Haverford School with Ed Devita, and I recall his lovely sister Patrice who attended many of our school functions. I shared many classes with Ed. I knew him to be a great student and a truly fine individual -- a kind, even-keeled person of the highest personal integrity. I'm sure he was an excellent physician, helping thousands throughout his career. I am saddened to learn of the world's loss of this true gentleman.
