Friend charged in fatal accident Stoughton crash killed man, 21 By [|Emma Stickgold] Globe Correspondent /  July 20, 2009 · Email | · [|Print] | · Reprints | · | · Text size – + Bob Devlin worked the night shift Saturday at his lineman job, the kind of work his 21-year-old son, Patrick, had been training to do earlier that day. Bob Devlin had switched off his phone at work, returning home in the early hours, so it was not until about eight hours later that he learned of the death of his son, killed in the crash of a Jeep driven by a friend. His son’s friend, Patrick J. Joyce, 19, of South Boston, is charged with motor vehicle homicide and operating under the influence of alcohol after the Jeep he was driving hit the guardrail on Route 24 in Stoughton next to the far-left lane just before 1 a.m., causing it to roll over, according to State Police. Patrick Devlin was thrown from the Jeep. He was taken to Caritas Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton, where he was pronounced dead, police said. Unable to reach Bob Devlin by phone, police came to his door about 9:30 a.m. to inform him of the death. His son was a hard worker, he said, and had been at a one-day seminar in New Hampshire on Saturday, bolstering his training as a lineman. Patrick Devlin specialized in high-voltage lines. He had worked for 18 months in the mountains of Maine for Hawkeye Construction, but was recently laid off. In Maine, he would get up at 5 a.m. and work in the bitter cold six days a week, his father said. After being laid off in April, Patrick Devlin decided to boost his training. A member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union, Local 104, he was two years into a four-year program, his father said. “He had a lot of energy,’’ Bob Devlin said of his son. Bob Devlin said he had talked with his son at 5 a.m. Saturday, offering fatherly advice, telling him to get a cup of coffee and put his seat belt on. Police said it appeared he was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident. “He would go out of his way to help other people,’’ Bob Devlin said. “He was not in trouble, he was on the right path. I was always telling him to think about what he does before doing it.’’ Patrick Devlin’s grandmother tearfully described him as a sympathetic young man, especially to those down on their luck. “He always saw the good in everybody,’’ said his grandmother Lucky Devlin of South Boston. “He is just going to be missed so much.’’ He grew up in South Boston and attended Oliver Ames High School in Easton. He lived with his father, who had just moved to Quincy. “He was a handsome young man,’’ his father said. Bob Devlin said he did not know Joyce or the full story about what had happened. “I heard him mention this boy’s name before, but I don’t know anything about him,’’ he said. Joyce, who was taken to Milton Hospital for minor injuries, was arrested shortly thereafter. A listing for him could not be found to seek comment yesterday. He is scheduled to be arraigned today in Stoughton District Court, according to Kevin Bowe, spokesman for the Norfolk district attorney’s office. State Police are investigating the crash.
