DEVAN – Richard M. of Clementon, New Jersey, formerly of Haddonfield, suddenly passed away on November 29, 2009, surrounded by his family. He was 45 years of age. Legacy Richard loved fishing, dancing and singing. He loved all types of music and he lived life to the fullest and never complained about anything. He was a happy go lucky person who knew how to brighten someone's day with a funny joke or a kind word. He could light up a room with his wonderful up-beat personality. He was truly a little social butterfly. When he was a young boy, he had the largest paper route and delivered papers for the Shoppers Guide. He also worked for Goodwill in Pennsauken, New Jersey as a packer. Richard was a graduate of Cherry Hill West High School. He presently attended the Harmony House Day Program which he greatly enjoyed and where he had many friends. Family Loving son of the late Richard and Catherine DeVan. Devoted brother of Deborah Capresecco (Gary) and Michele DeVan. Loving uncle to Lauren, Nicholas and Jarrett Capresecco. Farewell Service Relatives and Friends are invited to the viewing 12:00 p.m., and service at 1:00 p.m., Saturday, December 5th at the McGuinness Funeral Home, 573 Egg Harbor Road, Washington Twp.
