Russell Field

So very thankful that we had a visit from him just before Christmas! He was a faithful and true friend to my Dad (Doug MacLeod) and to us! A very special guy who will be greatly missed! Our thoughts and prayers are with Russ's family and friends.

We had the great privilege of enjoying the company of this gallant, wonderful gentleman since we became his neighbor in 2005. Every few months we would double date - either at our house or at the Squantum Club, and luxuriate in his conversation and his wit.
We greatly enjoyed his opinions about current events and the arts, always including the latest exhibit at the RISD museum, and we especially treasured hearing from him about the Barrington of the past.
Russell charmed our little boy,...

Russell was one of my two brothers, Pret and Bubsy Gladding's best friends. It will be strange to come to Barrington without seeing him. He was the last of "the group"

I am devastated by the loss of Russ. He was one of my father's very best friends and after Dad (Doug) died, Russ came frequently to the office to "check in on the girls" (me, sister Jeanie, daughter Becca). He just came by before Christmas! My husband and I had the pleasure of cruising in Scotland in 2000 with Dad, Russ & Sukie. What fun!!! He was absolutely one of my most favorite people in the whole world and will be sorely missed. I can still hear his laugh. Thinking of all of...

I had the pleasure of sailing with Russ aboard Quartette in August 2005. He was a true gentleman and a great shipmate.I feel very fortunate to have met Russ and he will be missed but not forgotten.

At every gam I would seek him out to talk. It was always a pleasure. I learned things I would never have known otherwise. (i.e., that the Lockheed P-38 was a really heavy airplane, even though it flew at great speed for that era.) He will be missed.

Russ was a great sailor and racer. I crewed for him in several Ancient Mariner races and he crewed for me on my boat crossing the Gulf Stream. Wonderful, entertaining gentleman and we are all better for having known him.

Russ was a wonderful shipmate and friend, and those of us who sailed with him on both land and sea will always remember him with great affection.

My sincere condolences to the family of Mr. Field. He was a true gentleman and I always enjoyed serving him at Squantum.
