We will miss Howard very much. He always had a smile and was such a good neighbor and friend. We lived across the street from him for 22 years. We will always remember him for his honesty, friendly manner, and willingness do do anything he could for someone.
I was so sorry to hear that Howard had passed away but am so filled with peace that he’s with his Pauline once again. I have 20 years of wonderful memories of my neighbors Howard and Pauline that always put a smile on my face we lived across the street next to Harold & Reva. Howard was a wonderful role model for my sons and I learned from Howard and Pauline the definition of a good neighbor. Thank you, Lord, for allowing me the privilege of rubbing shoulders with these wonderful folks. Bless the family that misses them, Father.
We remember Howard Fields as a person of dignity and graciousness. Our memories of him are first from Aaron and Rhonda’s wedding, and then from Ryan and Kandi’s wedding. He was gentle and charming on both occasions. Our prayers are with Howard, Lee and Cathy, and all his family.
May God continue to bless the Fields family.
We express our condolences for the lost of your father and our uncle. We were unable to attend, but our thoughts and prayers are with you Lee, Julie and Cora.
Your family of Vernon, OK expresses our sympathy during this time of bereavement. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God bless each and everyone of you.
