Not sure what to say?

Dr. Raymond Fielding was my professor (The History of Film) at Temple University. I was honored to have had this kind, brilliant scholar as a member of my doctoral committee. May God Bless his memory,his work and his soul.

I shall remember him as the finest, friendliest and most supportive film scholar that I, as a younger aspirant, was ever privileged to know.

I was just going to contact Ray to ask him about his student films at UCLA, and was shocked to learn of his recent passing. Ray was a mentor to me a long time before I joined UCLA, where he was also a film grad. He was always generous with advice, an untiring advocate for his students, and a renowned scholar.

PRAYER ARE WITH YOU'LL!

Deborah and I were so fortunate to be neighbors with Dr. Fielding. Over the years we shared meals, drinks, lots of laughs and listening to "Dr. Ray's" amazing stories. He was a wonderful man, we miss him dearly.

Dr. Fielding was a man of great cultural refinement who always treated me with the utmost courtesy. It is an honor to have been his friend.

I am so very sorry for your loss. May the God of comfort be with you in your time of need.
