Dick Devinney, a longtime resident of Glen Arbor and Grand Rapids, founding director of the popular Summer Singers and former owner of Synchronicity Gallery, died recently while traveling in Paris. He is survived by his wife, Marion. Our thoughts are with the Devinney family, and we’re grateful for all Dick and Marion have done for the Glen Arbor community. Please read our feature story about Dick, “Singing in the Summertime,” which we published in June 2006.

Dick DeVinney of Glen Arbor aims to change this trend, in Leelanau County, at least. Three years ago, the intrepid choir director began Summer Singers, sponsored by the Glen Arbor Arts Association, as a way to offer musical participation to anyone who wanted to sing, regardless of their experience or perceived ability.
