• My heartfelt sympathies go out to Rachel, Maria and the whole Devlin family. After not having seen Jim for many years, we crossed paths on Churchill Dr. during dog walks. As we parted ways, I always thought, "Geez! What a nice couple!" Besides being a real gentleman, the image of Jim I will always carry in my mind is when he had really long (past the shoulders) curly dark hair that most women would pay a lot of money to have. I pray for Jim's family and for the repose of Jim's soul. Sincerely, Kathy Adams - Posted by: Kathy Adams (High School Friend) on: Nov 04, 2013

• Jim was a breath of fresh air to work with. He had a great personality and provided our team with the utmost service. He was a great man. When a person touches people on a frIEnd relationship it is one thing. However in reading the many posts from many business colleagues, we all can tell the sort of man he really was and you begin to realize just how big of a hole he will have left both in his personal life as well as those he worked with. Heartfelt condolences to the Devlin family - Posted by: Julie Ross (Business Friend ) on: Nov 01, 2013

• My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Jim. He will be missed and fondly remembered as a kind and genuine person who made a lasting, positive impression on others.

• To Jimmy's wife, family, and friends, my sincerest condolences. Having worked closely with Jimmy the last 2 years I have no doubt that he would want us all to not suffer in the sorrow of this tragic situation, rather remember the incredible times that we shared together with him. Being an outside sales rep although having its perks, is a tough job. Before Jimmy went out on a sales call I would always wish him a sincere "Good Luck" as I understood how easily his job could be under appreciated. Regardless of how his day "pounding the pavement" may have gone, he would always walk back into the office in high spirits and ready to talk about my Chiefs, his Bruins, or any other current sporting news. I still can't believe that I will never see him walk through that door with his laptop slung over his shoulder and that warm genuine smile on his face. Jimmy's obvious overabundance of love for his wife, and his conquering of addiction are two things that will always inspire me. Jimmy's humor, sincerity, and tremendous personality will be forever missed, yet never forgotten. God bless you Jimmy, may you rest in peace good buddy. - Posted by: Steve Kaltchev (Friend, Coworker) on: Oct 31, 2013

• I met Jim a few years back through work and immediately connected with him. I always looked forward to seeing him, and talking with him through our business relationship, but our discussions always turned to family, sports and everything else (usually first). I am deeply saddened by this loss and losing the opportunity to become closer friends with Jimmy. My condolences to Rachel and his family and all his coworkers at Sabic. He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered. - Posted by: Ryan Henderson & Signs Now Thunder Bay (Friend) on: Oct 31, 2013
