John Devlin Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
John was outgoing and adventurous, with a great sense of humor and a determined spirit. He loved spending time outdoors-whether fishing, hunting, or simply relaxing in the peace of nature. A devoted husband and father, John lovingly cared for his wife, Ann, throughout her long battle with cancer and was a proud father to his two sons, Dale and Kevin.
He was predeceased by his parents, Ernest and Jennie Devlin; his beloved wife, Ann Devlin (Pokrzywinski); his son, Dale Devlin; his brothers, David, Ernie, and Bob; and his two cherished Newfoundlands, Maui and Katie.
John is survived by his son, Kevin Devlin, and partner Deeanna; his grand-dog, Rocky; and many other dear family members and friends.
John's infectious smile and larger-than-life personality will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
A memorial service celebrating John's life will be held on Saturday, November 8th, at 10:00 AM at Grondin Funeral Home in Rochester, NH.

I was beyond blessed to have known you for the last decade. Ill never forget how warm & welcoming you always were. I can't thank you enough for bringing Kevin into my world. I know you'll always be watching over us. And everytime Kevin says "drive safe"...my first instinct is to say.."fast & to the left "
