James A. Fields

Jimmy, you are in my thoughts today, as always.

Jim, I will never forget you. I enjoyed many years with you. We held hands together as we marched through San Francisco´s parade. You took me to the Boiler room, the Cue Club, and the Late show. I was a lonely Sailor and you enhanced my life in Norfolk. Steven Benton and I will never forget you. Your work and contributions at Lili´s was just fabulous too. You will be missed by the community. Rest my love.

Jim touch my life and I believe as he did anyone he met, I feel fortunate to have known him for so many years. Robert Backus

rest in peace my old friend

Friends and family have truly lost a treasure. Jimmy made me laugh so much over the many years that I knew him. He loved helping my husband choose a gift for me (Oh Jimmy -that hat!) His spirit lives on in Ghent.

Your family is in our prayers today. Jim was a very good person, employer, and sales man. My husband bought me many a beautiful piece of clothing and jewelry from Lili's. I still have a t-shirt and jewelry and some of the timeless clothing he sold. I bought a beautiful top and skirt for my mother for a banquet we were attending, she loved it.

I will always remember Jimmy for his help finding me the perfect mother-of-the-bride outfit for my daughter´s wedding in August 1991. He was funny and filled with the spirit of Life. And today losing a member of our Pembroke Tower´s family is always a sad event. May he Rest In Peace!

Jimmy Fields was one of my favorite people in the whole world. We were friends the entire time I lived in Norfolk in the 1980s. I´ve never forgotten him. he was always so upbeat and fun and kind and generous and welcoming. I was blessed to know him.

I loved working with Jimmy at Smith and Welton he always made me laugh. He was truly one of the most kind people that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Ran into him several times over the years, and he always remembered me. He was just an all around good person. You will be missed.
