Gary Fields Obituary
Gary enlisted into the U.S. Navy and served aboard the carrier U.S.S Coral Sea. Upon receiving his honorable discharge, Gary worked as a foreman at Sherwood Tool in Berlin and remained in the machine, tool and die industry until his retirement.
He gave generously of his time, skill and actively participated in many civic and charitable events. He was a loyal member of the VFW of Bristol, and the VFW and DVW of Presque Isle. Gary was an avid fisherman and enjoyed nature to its fullest. He will remain in his family and friends' hearts forever.
He is survived by his only daughter, Deanna (Fields) Garrison and her husband, Scott; two grandchildren, Michael Dean and Kathryn Rose Garrison of Berlin. He also leaves a loving ex-wife, Anne T. Fields of Berlin; two stepchildren, William J. Renock of Bristol and Lori Beaudoin of Middletown; a sister, Elizabeth Henderson of Presque Isle; three brothers, Roland Fields of Middlefield, James Fields of California, Russell Eugene Fields of Arizona and a half-brother, Donald Wallace, as well as many loving cousins, nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, Gary was also predeceased by one sister, Opal Joyce Crahan and two brothers, Orville Fields and Bernard Fields.
A private service will be held in Gary's honor at the family's request.
