I first worked with Jack. There was never a dull moment.
I then married John and joined the family. Jack was a wonderful father-in-law these past 28 years.
I remember all the family gatherings and fun shared.
There is a big void in the family, but some day soon the circle will be complete again when we all meet in heaven.
God will get us through it!

Sorry to hear about the loss, Jack was a great man and even tho I haven't seen you all in a long time I do have some found memories growing up with you all. - I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love.

Dearest family:
All of us will miss Jack's wonderful sense of humor and endless jokes. I bet that he, Dad (Obert Fields) and Uncle Jay (J.W. Fields) are really having a great time catching up on everything and learning new jokes. Jack and Cathy have always been there for us and all of the family and that is so much appreciated. Jack could always cheer up everyone just by showing up and getting everyone's mind off difficult situations. Heaven is much sweeter now that Jack's there. May God give all of you strength and peace for the times ahead. Love you, Bren, Wayne, Rodney, and grandkids (Devin & Jessica - Rodney's children) and Loren (David's daughter).
