Publish in a newspaper

John Dale Devlin, 66, of Lebanon, ME, passed away on Thursday, October 16, 2025. Born on January 8, 1959, in Corvallis, Oregon, he was the beloved son of Ernest Dale and Jennie Mary (Smith) Devlin.
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 "
