How sad I am to hear of Mr. Fildes passing. Chris was the best man at my wedding to Don Volturno. Many days were spent at the fildes house. I always admired Mr. Fildes what a great man he was. He was an even better dad. My prayers and thoughts are with you. God Bless!!!

To Millie and the entire Fildes family,
I was really saddened to hear of the passing of your husband. He was a kind person and a loving father that cared about his family. I really enjoyed helping Al with projects because I knew he really appreciated it. His career with the Bridgeport Fire Department says a lot about him. When the fire alarm sounded, Al put himself at risk to help people that he did not know. That says a lot about Al. He will be sadly missed.

I remember Al from the years I was a member of the Bridgeport Fire Dept. Al was one of those guys that was liked by all. It is always difficult to hear that one of The Good Old Boys has passed away. My condolences to his family and friends. May he Rest in Peace.

A/C Chief Al Fildes was one of the best fire fighters I ever worked with, The City of Bridgeport was lucky to have had him in their ranks, He will be missed by all that knew him, especially me. He treated everyone with respect and he was loved for that reason, May God bless your soul...
