Devine
Family:
Joe Devine was my sophomore english
teacher at Cleveland High School in 1963. I will never
forget his class because he made it so fun. It was also
the class that I found out about the death of JFK. Class
was very somber that day. As years passed and I
graduated from college and was preparing to get married,
Joe Devine re-entered my life. It turns out he was the
Best Man at my future father-in-law's wedding (Bill
Robins!)!! I am married to the oldest daughter of Bill
Robins. Small world. Our condolences to you all. |

I remember one time
running into Joe leaving the liquor store. He asked me
what I was doing there and, when I told him we were
having a party, he asked where his invitation was. In
addition, he did an amazing job with the eulogy for
Morgan O'Brien, my dad by marriage. I wonder from that
point on who would be able to eulogize Joe as well as he
eulogized everyone else. He will be missed by all of us
that knew and loved him. My thoughts and prayers go out
to the entire DeVine family. |

Dear Devine Family, Mr.
Devine was my roll room and English teacher at Cleveland
High School 1962-64. Although he didn't coach at CHS we
always called him "coach" and he called me "J.Critch,
King of BN (brown nosing)". I last saw Mr. Devine at the
40 year reunions of the CHS Class of 1963 & 1964.
Coach was a great mentor and good friend all these
years. He sent me an autographed copy of "Comma's Are
Our Friends" for my daughter Amy, who was attending WWU
and majoring in journalism. Coach had a great impact on
my life and I will miss him. John "J. Critch"
Christiansen, CHS Class of '64'. |

What an amazing
man...that Mr. Devine! He was my basketball coach and
Language Arts teacher at West Seattle High School. I
believe he even taught us Greek Mythology (a subject my
daughter has grown to love). It was only last week that
I spoke of Mr. Devine and his unique teaching style. For
those of my teammates who remember playing for him back
in the early eighties, Mr. Devine always said, "You
can't roller skate in a buffalo herd." That still makes
me smile. Mr. Devine, you'll be missed. My thoughts are
with the Devine family. |

I never knew Joe, but I
am honored to count his daughter Megann as my friend and
colleague. I know how much she will love and miss her
dad. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Megann, and
with all your family. |

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I picture

Devine Family,
Out
of respect and admiration your father/husband was always
"Mr. Devine" to me. My deepest sympathies to you all. A
true character filled with wit, Joe left an indelible
impression on me. From the secret handshake he required
of me every time we met to the way he addressed me each
time our paths crossed, he always made me feel that I
mattered and that I wasn't just another bump on a log.
In his book he even convinced me that Commas are my
Friends. Most importantly, he was one of the many
"Fathers in the Neighborhood" that showed all of us kids
The Way through his example and for that I am eternally
grateful. Mr. "Joe" Devine, Sr., a member of the Capitol
Hill Hall of Fame via Sequim, will be missed. I am
thankful to have known him and will never forget him.

Dear Devine
Family,
I just want you to know that your father will
be dearly missed. He was a great man who touched the
lives of many. I will keep you in my thoughts and
prayers as this is an extremely difficult time. Losing a
loved one is never easy especially one like your
father.
All my prayers, |
