My deepest smypathy to his family. I am deeply saddened and will miss him terribly. He was a good man and great friend.

Jacques Littlefield was a rare and special man. I have such fond memories of sitting together at the Coyote Point Board Meetings. To Sandy and to all his children...Jacques was such an affirmation of a life well lived.

I appreciate what Jacques did for the environment and the community. He had a great sense of history and was a very generous man. My condolences to his family on this sad loss.

Deeply saddened to hear of Mr. Littlefield's passing. His collection of military vehicles is unsurpassed. My command, the California Center for Military History visited the collection this past December. I hope it will be preserved for future generations.

Myself and my colleagues were deeply saddened when we heard the news. Jacques played a unique role in our career's with his passion for hardware that we designed and produced. There were many enjoyable days and conversations with Jacques that will always be remembered. Thank You Jacques - And to the Littlefield family, please accept our deepest sympathies - All of those from FMC, United Defense and BAE Systems.

My condolences to Jacques's family. I knew him as an undergraduate at Stanford and was invited to his home to witness him shoot real sodium out of his 1st tank, and watch it cause fireworks in the swimming pool. It was very exciting! I will always remember his kindness and good humor.

Mr Littlefield was a good friend and a great resource for military



history, business, and life skills. I will miss our conversations.



His collection and restoration center was like a giant model tank shop.



It was always a joy to visit "The Tank Farm" and I will miss him alot.
