Paul and I have so many wonderful memories of "Pop" Devoursney from numerous family events. It was obvious to all in attendance that he treasured each member of his beloved family and that feeling was lovingly reciprocated.
May the memories you have shared be a comfort in this trying time and in the future.

Aunt Bernadette and my cousins, There are no words that can express how sorry I am at the loss of Uncle Bob. I am so grateful to have been able to spend time with him in August. Bob and I always enjoyed the visits we spent with both of you. He was a very special person. I remember how much my parents loved him and all the fun they shared with both of you. I am sure that Bob and my parents are so happy to have him join them in heaven. Love Rita Mafull Rasp
Dear Bernie: We were so saddened to hear of Bob's passing. We have fond memories of the great times we all had together at Clarke. I am just so sorry we were never able to make it to the annual breakfast as we would have loved seeing you both. We send our sincere sympathy and love to you.

Condolences to Aunt Bernadette and all the cousins. My mother Kathleen DeVoursney Tomasello is remembered as being so PROUD of her "baby " brother for his successful business career and many accomplishments. I have fond memories of my trip to Michigan to see Uncle Bobbie with my mother many years ago as a young girl . The warmt hospitality the fun boat ride and walk down the path , through the dunes to my first site of The Great Lake. I remember Uncle Bobbies warm smile . Theresa Tomasello Felzenberg
On this sad day, I keep thinking of what Carson McCullers wrote in "The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter."
"How can the dead be truly dead," she wrote, "when they still live in the souls of those who are left behind?"
Those of us "left behind" miss you and grieve for you, Pops. But we also see the faces of the devoted family you created--your children, your grandchildren, your great grandchildren--and we take comfort in knowing that you truly live on in each of their souls.
With Love and Sympathy,
Joffre, Kristen, Sawyer, Wyatt, and Libby LeFevre
