In January 2021, Tho­mas Bede Devlin took the same jour­ney that he’d lov­ingly prepared for so many other peo­ple over the past 70-plus years. The World War II vet­eran and long­time op­er­a­tor of Devlin Funeral Home Inc. in Ross and Cran­berry was the fu­neral di­rec­tor of choice for gen­er­a­tions of fam­i­lies from the North Side, the North Hills and be­yond. In a busi­ness driven largely by word of mouth, Mr. Devlin took no short­cuts or chances when it came to pre­serv­ing his ster­ling rep­u­ta­tion — in­clud­ing in his ap­pear­ance. From 1960 to 1970, Mr. Devlin served as a justice of the peace in Ross and he was an ac­tive mem­ber of the St. Teresa of Avila Church, where he was a mem­ber of the church coun­cil and the St. Vin­cent de Paul So­ci­ety.
