Roy P. Fairfield

Roy's humor, wit and endless energy have inspired me since I knew him as the Director of the Antioch-Putney Graduate School, which I attended as a student in 1965-66. I still appreciate the puns ... the Spoonerisms maybe not so much. Condolences and fond regards to Marilyn and Donna.

I worked with Roy in the archives when I was Director of the Dyer Library. What a wonderful, brilliant, and lovely person. He was very generous to the Dyer Library/Saco Museum. RIP.

My condolences to Marylynn and Donna. Although from Biddeford, I first met Roy in Syracuse, New York in 1971. I knew of him from his excellent history of Saco. He served as an inspiration to me in my research in local history and suggested many excellent sources to consult on local Biddeford-Saco history. He mentored many "students", young and old from everywhere. He will be missed.

Roy sat on my doctoral committee and ignited creativity fires whenever we spoke. Some of his encouragement led to outrageous ideas that were appropriately tamed as our discourse evolved under his guidance. What a joy to have known him! To the happy Humanist: Bravo!

Prayers to Roy's family on their loss of a wonderful person. I so enjoyed conversations with Roy when he visited his Dental office! His books were excellent and he will be remembered.

What a wonderful life! My parents (now deceased) often spoke of their Bates professor. His influence had a profound impact on them and how they lived their lives, and to no small degree how they raised us kids. They were Dick & Marianne (Webber) Brenton, class of 54 and 55. My thoughts and prayers to his family.

Loving condolences to the Fairfield family. Mentor and friend to all the Dennis Clan. We will miss our creative correspondence,,visits and phone chats and" Full Moon" viewings. You are in our thoughts, John&Melanie Dennis

To a life well lived...
