Peter E. Field Sr., 76
PORTLAND -- Peter E. Field Sr., of Portland, passed away at the age of 76 on April 19, 2011. He spent his final days at the Gosnell Memorial Hospice House in Scarborough surrounded by his family.
Peter was born in Portland on Jan. 6, 1935, to his parents Larry Field and Angelina (Caiazzo) Lozier and was the third of five children. He grew up attending local schools where he excelled artistically while working several jobs at the same time. He graduated from Portland High School in 1953.
On Sept. 6, 1958, Peter married his wife Sarah Sabatino. They had three children, Joanna Coey, Peter Field Jr., and Vicky Cichon.
Peter was extremely generous, caring, outgoing, and always on the move. He loved every holiday and was like a real life Santa Claus giving to friends, family, and children who would otherwise go without. He also enjoyed his career as a salesman and was honored to earn the Bell Ringer of the year award. His friends and family loved listening to his stories and jokes- he truly had a knack for making people laugh. He always carried pictures of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren to show friends and almost everyone he met. His family was his pride and joy.
Peter was predeceased by his brothers, James Field and Robert Field; and his beloved and faithful Boston terrier, 'Jock.' He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Sarah Field; his children, Joanna Coey and her husband Geno of Casco, Peter Field Jr. and his wife Kimberly of Tampa, Fla., and Vicky Cichon of Tampa, Fla.; his sisters, Cynthia Beattie and Beverly Prescott; grandchildren, Nicolle Field, Nathan Field, Brittany Cichon, Alex Field, Dylan Field, and Tyler Field; his great-grandchildren, Keirstan Field and Calvin Lakari; and several nieces and nephews.
Peter will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
Peter's family would like to thank the staff at the Gosnell Memorial Hospice House for being so caring, supportive and kind during his final days.
