CEDAR GROVE, N.J. -- The small, rectangular room on the second floor of the Cedar Grove municipal building was packed with 100 chairs, only half of them filled. It served as the site of a ceremony honoring New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito.
Those in attendance, aside from the few there for the public hearing on this comfortable spring evening, were primarily DeVito's family and friends. They watched the five-minute session in which DeVito was presented a proclamation and a key to the township where he grew up and where his family still lives.
