WELLINGTON ALAN (BILL) FIELDS 1914 - 2008 The family is saddened to announce the passing of our Dad, Grandpa, and Great-Grandpa on February 12, 2008 in his 95th year. Born in East Kildonan January 21, 1914, Bill spent his early years in Camp Morton (near Gimli) and in Winnipeg. He married Anne Morrison in 1939. They spent the war years in Atlantic Canada and Ontario as Bill served with the RCAF. They returned to Winnipeg and built a business which still operates as FIELDS RADIO AND TV. In 1980 Anne suffered a debilitating stroke so Bill sold the business and dedicated his life to caring for her. To many he will be remembered for 21 years of selfless attention to her every need, a sterling example to all of us of genuine love. He was a gentle man of quiet integrity and honesty who loved life and maintained a sharp mind and wit till the end. Anne passed on in 2001. Bill is survived by his daughter Gale (Storm) and her husband Bill Fisher of Winnipeg, his son Glenn and wife Linda of Edmonton, his six grandchildren, Kelly (Greg), Laura (Lee), Bethan (Derek), Chris (Julie) all of Winnipeg, Chris (Debbie) of Okotoks, AB, Dave (Dimitria) of Edmonton, and his ten great-grandchildren, Meg, Kjira, Olivia, Jordyn, Chris, Isla, Nicole, Ryan, Sophie, and Jack.
