I had the privilege of working with Jack Fields as Deputy City Clerk. He made the day go by fast and with a smile; enjoyed his Phantom of the Opera songs. We all knew the songs before we saw the play! When he hurt is leg skate boarding, we got him back....told him that his car was being towed away because he was illegally parked in front of city hall. He admitted after that "we got him". My deepest sympathy to his family. Let his memories live forever.

Dear Teri and family, I am so sorry for the loss of your father. In reading the other entries you can see what a wonderful person he was and will always be, in cherished memories.. My father always told us (kids) how important it was to keep our sense of humor. Guess our "Dads" were of the same thought that laughter was an important part of life. Take care.
