Joan was a loving person who brought happiness to many. Her infinite patience, words of wisdom and sense of humor were appreciated by many a skating student and parent.
Joan and Jack together not only dedicated years of their lives to the Lake Placid Skating Club, but developed a vital skating club in Saranac Lake. Their students went on to skating competitions, ice hockey, and other athletic and personal achievements.
Years later, we thank the Devitts for how well our kids turned out - athletic and skilled. We cherish the "Devitt philosophy" of loving what you do and having fun. Even greater, we learned the most important lesson - to be a good person.
Thank you to Joan and Jack's family for sharing your parents with us. They are great role models to many. They are an amazing example of kindness and compassion.
Joan and all of the Devitt family will be remembered in our prayers.
Love from the Adams Family:
Theresa and Jack Adams, Pittsford NY
Julie Adams, Portland OR
John Adams, San Diego CA
