Happy Heavenly Birthday!
I think about Jeff, "my friend of several decades" often!  Hard to believe he is gone.  We did business over the years but the friendship was the center of our relationship!   He cared about others, looked out for you, and was a shoulder to lean on when needed. We laughed, and we dealt with health issues over the years and I always appreciated his advice.
The Fields family was very lucky to have him for as long as you all did! I wish you all well, and you have great memories to help you all get by and carry on!

I will never forget his kindness.

Rest in Peace Jeff!

Best regards

Bob Terpstra

One of he best!

So sorry to learn about Jeff’s passing. He was the very rare vendor who was actually more of a friend than a vendor. He cared more about the people than the order. We shared a weekly lunch at my desk while he was repping Gilman knitwear that evolved into a weekly poker game over a span of 40 years. 563-1122 is a number that we always joked about as it is emblazoned in my brain , never to be forgotten. 5 ends of double 20 cotton yarn for the shaker knit sweater ! We had that mantra for our entire relationship and it made us laugh every time. The poker games with Steve, George, Bruce, Bob, Marty, Roy and the others were funnier than a Friars club roast . Of course Jeff was laughing all the way to the bank while I left penniless! Worth every cent. I miss ya man! 

Love ya forever,

Suss

I’m so sorry to hear about Jeff’s passing .  We knew each other through the apparel business dating back to 1990 !  We had lost touch over the years and I just came across his obituary !
He was always a classy and very funny guy and I always enjoyed 
talking to him on the phone ( 1122 ! ) .  Please accept my late , but very heartfelt condolences

My condolences to Jeff’s family. I worked with Jeff for many years and he was always a smart and kind person. A true professional. He will be missed.

Jeffrey was one of a kind.  Always brightened a room with his smile and sense of humor.   All of us have lost something from our lives when Jeffrey left us.

Our love to Vicki and family.

Sending my deepest condolences to Jeff’s family. It was an honor to have met him. We were next door neighbors on the same floor at work years ago.  He was a true role model of good work ethics and such a happy soul. I will never forget the love and comfort I felt from Jeff when my baby died. His presence and kind words helped my broken heart at that time. May his spirit bring you comfort in the days ahead and may the loving memories shared always live in you. I’m so sorry for your tremendous loss 💔 
Sending lots of love and healing thoughts.

TO THE FIELDS FAMILY,
I wanted to pass along my sincerest condolences to you all on Jeff's passing.
I was fortunate enough to have known and worked with Jeff professionally over the last 30 years.
I was a Buyer for a few companies over the years and our friendship remained intact whether we were doing business or not.  We shared family stories and milestones, and I always knew how special his family was to him and Vicki.
He was one the true "good guys" in our industry, and a man of great character. I will never forget the way he answered the phone in one of his NYC offices "1122" never "Hello this is Jeff" just the last 4 digits of his phone number.  I am proud to call Jeff a friend of mine and I will never forget him.   Great memories will help you all get thru this difficult time!   Sincerely, "TERP"   Bob Terpstra

My (Great) Uncle Jeff was a great man who led a life brimming with love. His mere presence would light up a room. He brought so much joy to the world. I will always cherish my memories with him.

To the Fields family   
There are no words  we can say to make the pain go away. How lucky you  had him for so many years. As we get on in years life becomes more precious because we are on the other side. Along the way we meet people and there is an instant connection that can’t be duplicate.d and that is what we had with Jeffee. These types of friendships do not happen often, but when they do… they are irreplaceable and  a gift from god.
Our hearts are broken but know he is out of pain and in heaven checking out everyone’s elbows. Lol. 
Sending all our love and support to the Feilds family.  He truly was a gift from god. 
 
Hugs, Lisa & Neil

Jeffeeeee  is one of my dearest longtime friends.  There were times that we would not see each other for six months, but when we saw each other it was like we were with each other yesterday..  I remember when I first met Jeff  about 50 years ago, my father and I would meet him in New York and all we did was laugh from his jokes. He was always kind, caring, giving and loving. He always had a smile and made others laugh. 
He will be dearly missed, but never forgotten
All our love
Nadine and Bruce

We loved our Jeff.  We only had great times with him and Vicki.  We smiled, we laughed, we ate alot, it was great.  Jeff was also a great driver, sometimes a little too aggressive, but he always got us there.  He was a great friend and he'll always be a part of our lives.
                                                                           L, D & D

Dear Vicki and Family,
Eileen and I send our condolences on the loss of Jeff,  husband, father, grandfather and friend to so many.
Our daughter, Alyssa, and your daughter, Leigh, were best of friends for many, many years, beginning at Baker Hill Elementary School. Our families shared so many good times dining out, going to concerts, visiting each other in our respective homes. But, the singular event we will always remember was our trip to Lake Placid during Xmas break. Laughs a plenty, snow ball fights, it was a very, very happy and good time.
With affection, Steve & Eileen Walk
