Not sure what to say?

Mr. fields was one of the most dedicated, funny and helpful teachers. I was fortunate enough to have him as a teacher when my family emigrated from India. He was extremely supportive and ensured that I had an equal opportunity to excel in class. I still think about his small gestures that made me feel welcomed in the classroom and part of a big community. Its been over 20 years and I still carry fond memories of that class and Mr. fields. May you Rest In Peace and make heaven as fun as your...

Bruce, you were one funny teacher. I enjoyed the little time I had as one of your students. In peace always...

Mr. Fields was a really nice teacher. I'm 47 and I had him as one of my teachers at Centerville Jr. High. He also taught my oldest daughter who is 26 and my youngest daughter who is 16. He will be missed! My condolences to the family. Linda McGrue (Gouletas) (Fremont, CA)

I taught at CJHS with Bruce for so many years. He was one of the MOST devoted teachers I ever met there. He had such a wide circle of influence... and we will ALL miss him.

I knew Bruce from the many sports he officiated with my kids. In 2000 I was coaching a U14 girls soccer team that Jorie was on. I got to know the great family as the season went along. My condolences and sympathy to his family. Bruce was a giving man and will be missed. RIP Mr. Fields.

He was a great instructor. I was a student of his in '76 and played soccer for him at WHS in '79-'80. One of a handful of teachers that challenged his students and brought the best out of them. A great teacher, soccer coach and friend. He will be missed.

I have only fond memories of Mr. Fields -- during summer school, of all places. A kind and gentle man who had a smile you don't quickly forget. He will clearly be missed by so many. My deepest condolences to the Fields family.

Mr. Fields was a gift to our family. He taught our three children and their peers with a caring heart, a historian's love of a good story, and the humor of a veteran middle school teacher. What a combination!!! A faithful friend and teacher has moved on. We are happy and honored to have known him. Blessings upon Kathy and family. With love and prayers, Vinaye, Nancy, Carl, Anna, and Maya Misra

I never had Bruce as a teacher but rather as my only brother-in-law. I first met Bruce at my baby sister's wedding and I sure had my doubts....As many have noted, his sense of humor was rooted in junior high. He might be buried in his book but was always alert for any chance to throw his tidbit of wisdom/humor in any conversation. His body type was not the typical athletic coach and yet his varsity soccer team was the only league champion Washington High school had one year. Amazing, Bruce...
