Not sure what to say?

I met Dr Fielding as a new nursing grad in 1977 when I worked on 7 Feldberg at Beth Israel. He was revered by the nursing staff. I will always remember him because of his deep commitment to women´s reproductive rights

I was sick at heart when Sue passed. I looked Waldo up and see that he made it to 100! Waldo was my first GYN man. He was a wonder and I see he continued to be until his passing. Sue was a wonderful friend to me. I adored her.

I worked with Waldo at Beth Israel Hospital. My thought when I first saw him at our weekly departmental conference was: "Who is that cool guy in tennis shoes?" He offered me his office and his old desk when he retired from private practice. I visited him at his Longwood Ave. residence after Suzie died and met him and Anita a few times at O'Leary's. It was a pleasure for my wife Caryl and me to treat him and Anita to a "thank you" dinner at the Capital Grille. We shared several personal...

Dr. Fielding delivered me in 1959 and remained a close friend of my parents. I remember him coming to my Dad's funeral in 1975 and how much it meant to my mother. RIP Dr. Fielding.

I met Waldo in the early spring of 2007 at a recording studio in Framingham. We were voices for a youtube commercial for Legal Seafood called Raw Talk at the Raw Bar. (you can still see the ad!) He was concerned that the language was a little too salty for a commercial but dove right in after being assured that the Berkowitz family approved beforehand. We were there for a few hours and he regaled us with story after story about his performing days in the late 1940s early 50s and about Suzie....

Thank you Dr. Fielding for delivering my daughter, Amy, in 1968. There could have been complications, but your amazing talent ruled the day, and she was fine! I, too, remember your convertible! You were definitely a talented and wonderful human being who will be missed!!!

Mary and I will miss singing Alabamy Bound with him at the piano bar at The Chart Room. It was so much fun. Until we meet him again in Filder's Green where there is perpetual mirth. a fiddle that never stops playing and he will have nothing to do but enjoy his glass that refills itself every time he draws the last drop---- listen to the music and maybe sing a tune or two. Mary and Barbara from the corner table his back up singers.

I first met Waldo at BI in 1972. I loved this man. He helped to guide me thru my nursing years and I eventually went to work with him at Preterm. A wonderful person who holds a special place in my heart. miss u. Leslie

May the love friends and family carry through your grief.
