Field

Obituary

Arnold Field, 100 years old, of Bloomfield, CT died Wednesday, January 4th peacefully at home. He was the beloved husband of Selma (Neckrich) for 78 years. Born in Middletown on July 18, 1916, he was the son of Jacob and Ellen Field. He graduated from Middletown High School and was a writer for the CT Jewish Argus and worked for Pratt and Whitney Aircraft making engines in WWII. In 1945, he opened his first gas station in Hartford and remained in that business as a skilled mechanic for the next 30 years. When he retired in 1976, he became active and eventually President of the Bnai Brith and the SES Club at the Greater Hartford Jewish Community Center, receiving numerous honors for his charitable work from both organizations. He is survived by his two sons, Attorney Gerald Field and Dr. Barry Field, whom he was so proud of and their wives, Sarah and Julie and grandchildren: Aaron Field, Jessica and her husband Brian Macharelli and their children, Milania and Giuliana, Rachel, Hannah and Miles Field. He is also survived by many nephews and nieces. The family would like to thank Halina and Mirek for their loving care over the past few years. A graveside cer

My heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your dear loved one.  The Bible speaks about our span of life being 70 or 80 years if one is especially strong (Psalms 90:10) so your loved one was able to live longer than most. Though death is difficult to deal with, the Bible also speaks of the time of a resurrection when the lame will leap like the deer (Isaiah 35: 5, 6) and older ones who have died will live again. Take comfort in that beautiful promise from God. For additional information, please visit jw.org.

Sending our love to the Fields family.
G-d blessed Arnold with his dear sweet Selma for so many happy years, and with two wonderful loving sons and daughters-in-law who cared for him to the end of his days. His grandchildren were the stars in his crown.
May he Rest In Peace.
Love, cousins Marilyn and Alan Byer

Dear Barry and the Field Family,

I want to extend my thoughts of love and condolences to you and to each member of the Field family on the passing of Arnold, who was far more than a husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, uncle, and a good friend to many others.

I also want to share the following thought that may serve you, the Field family, and everyone whose life he touched, at this time in your lives, and in the future:

Rather than mourn the absence of the flame,
let us celebrate how brightly it burned.

Let’s comfort one another with favorite memories
of sharing times when we were all together.

Let’s celebrate the spirit of one very special life,
so in our hearts the flame will burn forever.

Thinking of you with love,

Marshall Levinson
