Ernie FIELDS

Ernie, we loved sharing many a fun evening with you. I (Andrea) particularly appreciated when you brought extraordinary musicians to our events at the LA Times in the 1990s. And we will forever remember your wonderful jazz trio at Don's 65th birthday party at our home and your magical sound at our wedding in March 1994. We were so honored when you and your talented group joined us for dinner, too! We love and miss you, Ernie! Andrea and Don Reinken T

We send our condolences to Ernie's family...there is a new star in the heavens now.

Ernie was a very good friend in our lives. We met him through Hollywood Rotary and then shared many special times with him, including Don´s 65th birthday celebration, Ernie´s 70th and our wedding in 1984. During 24 years at the LA Times, Andrea often worked with Ernie to provide LA´s best musicians for Times´ events. We also shared many meals together and laughed often. We loved Ernie...rest in peace our "Kool Man, Kool" friend. We will miss you music and your very being.

I met Ernie at Golds gym several years ago. 5 am workouts and very nice man. We found out we were both from Tulsa. He was friendly and considerate. He never let on of how accomplished his career was. Kind and considerate. We mourn with you.

I am going to miss you, my brother! You are KMK!

We are so sorry for your loss. With sympathy, Mary and Orlando

Ernie, Homeboy, my parents loved your parents and y´all´s music. Rest well.

Carmen, What a blessing to be a part of an incredible cultural legacy. My sincerest condolences to you and your family.

Dear Carmen, your brother Ernie was so special to you and your family. Karly will cherish her Uncle Ernie memories forever as will the rest of your family. Condolences.
