Donald “Don” Devine

Donald “Don” Devine of Quincy, originally from Saugus, died peacefully at Milton Hospital on Thursday, December 19, 2019. He was 102.

Born in Somerville, he was raised in Saugus and was the son of the late Henry Wallace and Anne Irene (McLean) Devine.  He worked as a Route Salesman for Standard Uniform and was a member of the Teamsters Local 25.

In his spare time, he enjoyed golfing, working in his garden, making stain glass designs, and spending time at the Quincy Elks where he was a member.  Donald was also an avid walker and enjoyed his daily jaunts around the neighborhood.  Donald and his wife Dorothy spent many a Friday night line dancing and spending time with their friends.  For many years they spent the winters in Fort Lauderdale,  Florida. The most important part of Donald’s life was his family and grandchildren.

Donald had a great sense of humor and enjoyed making people laugh. He was a generous and loving person and dedicated himself to the people in his life. His life lessons and example are part of his legacy that continues through his children and grandchildren. He will be missed by all the lives he touched.
