Dear Devine family, Please accept our belated condolences to Mrs. D and the entire Devine family as we only recently heard of Mr. Devine's passing. Brion and I have so many wonderful memories of the 'block' and the times our families spent together. I can still see Mr. Devine walking home down Ocean Ave. from the train station every afternoon. Please know you are in the Muir's and Kenzie's thoughts and prayers as we approach Christmas. Our love and fondest regards go to Mrs. D. and you all. Donna(Muir) and Brion Kenzie

My earliest memories of Uncle John were his periodic visits to our home after a shift at his precinct, to say hello to my Mom..I can still picture him in full uniform, sitting at the kitchen table talking to my Mom...I was probably 4 years old and He was larger than life to me. Many years have passed, and I still feel the same way.
