Thoughts for Herschel L. Devine;

  • Jonathan Schlack says:

    Sad to learn today of Bud’s passing. As kids, Buddy and I grew up on the same stretch of 5th Avenue and we met in first first or second grade one day as I rode my bike around the block. As the younger sibling of several older brothers, as I recall, his sometimes tough exterior masked the reserved and considerate person within. He was a very kind hearted soul who looked out for other people; something he didn’t always get credit for when we were teenagers. I remember him actually preventing a house from burning down once, probably in 1989 or thereabouts, something he did quietly, with no fanfare, and without ever seeking any personal credit for it. Rest in God’s Eternal Peace, old friend.
