While I did not know Dick directly, I’ve heard many fond memories shared over the years through Jillian and Travis of what a wonderful man he was. I am so sorry for all of your loss. He is loved by so many and I know those fond memories will live on for generations to come. Rest In Peace.

While I never had the pleasure of meeting your father, Kay, I know he must have been an awesome man to have raised a daughter who is so full of love, kindness and generosity. He must have been an awesome parent--because you are. Love, Rick

Dear DeVito Family, Our deepest sympathies to you. We have many fond memories of Dick from when he called on our business representing American Chicle. He was always professional, but more importantly he was a friend and someone we could count on. I'm sure you all grew up enjoying all sorts of candy samples, many before they were even on the market. The industry has certainly changed, but not our memories of the wonderful people we were privileged to associate with, like Dick. God bless and comfort you all. John Bartels, President, Klosterman's.

Have very fond memories of Dick. He used to stop by our HairSalon almost every morning and have coffe prior to his day starting. He was alway upbeat so it was hard to start a day in the doldrums once Idck showed up. He was a wonderful person that I will forever have fond memories. To his family we will uphold you in our prayers in you time of loss. He was a true blessing to all that had the privilege of knowing him

Dear Dick Devito family, I am saddened to hear of Dick's passing . I had the pleasure of meeting him many years ago when I was a sales rep in the grocery business. I would see him at Klosterman's and in accounts. I always loved our discussions. He was so kind and funny. I have one favorite story to tell you. As a rep, I had to get in and out of my vehicle every day, taking product, free items, and displays into my stores. The winter was tough, and complained to Dick that I was always cold, as I had to wear business attire (suit coat and pants). He convinced me I could wear long underwear under my nice clothes along with warmer boots. I took his advice and was much more comfortable! Whenever I would see him, he would ask me if I had my long underwear. That was our joke. I left retail for a while. After, returning, I would see him and Eleanor at Meijer's and always enjoyed seeing him, with the joke always mentioned. To Dick's family my hearfelt condolences to you all. He was a wondeful man and I am sure that there are many fond memories that you all have. Prayers and love to you all. Julie Schelling

To Eleanor and Family, You Have or deepest sympathy and condolences. I knew Dick when he bowled yrs with my husband Don at Airway lanes. My children and I went with Don a lot of the times he bowled with Dick on the same team. Got to know Dick how funny he was towards the children. I think they look forward to that night every week. He would always give them gum IF they behaved. So needless to say they were always good. Dick was a very joyful happy man. You could tell he loved children. I miss seeing his smile. Our Prayers are with you and the Family. May God bless and comfort you and Dick is resting in peace. He probably be handing gum out to children in heaven, and bowling with Don in Heaven.
