| ADD | FIELDS, ALFRED LEE | UNK | 10/19/2011 | November 28, 1907 - October 19, 2011 Share this obituary Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share in Email Sign Guestbook View Guestbook Entries U.S. Veteran Alfred Lee Fields was born November 28, 1907 near Crescent, OK (just after statehood) to Joseph and Carrie (Wehr) Fields. Early Wednesday morning October 19, 2011 (at Norman Veteran"s Center), the angel that visited Alfred a couple of weeks ago returned to get him, just as he had promised. Alfred is survived by his brother Dave Fields of Wichita, KS and sister May Reith of Woodward, OK; his children, son Allen and wife Ruth of Levelland, TX, daughter Ada Maloney of Oklahoma City, OK, son Marvin and wife Eloise of Midwest City, OK, daughter Mary Schierling and husband Clarence of Yukon, OK; seven grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren and 17 great-great-grandchildren. He is predeceased by his wife Inis, parent"s, brother"s Charlie, Elmer and Edward, sister Nellie, son-in-law Carl Maloney, daughter-in-law Jean Fields, grandson Mark Fields, and great-granddaughter Bethany Hill. Alfred and his parents traveled by wagon from Crescent to Ellis County and settled around Gage where he spent most of his life. He married Inis Mowery, July 23, 1931 and they welcomed four children into their home, Allen, Ada, Marvin and Mary. During World War II, Alfred was drafted into the Army at the age of 37 (even though he was married with four children). He served with the 106th Infantry Division in the European theater. He became very sick aboard ship and was hospitalized in France and his unit went on without him and he was to follow. He never caught up with them and missed the Battle of the Bulge (he was the only survivor the rest died or were taken captive). Alfred never forgot them. When Alfred returned stateside he spent the next years mostly in Ellis county farming or as owner/operator of a service station/ice plant, he also worked for the City of Gage as water superintendent and then as City Councilman. After Inis" death in 1986, he moved to Meeker to be near his son and work as “foreman” on the farm/ranch. Many times he boasted that “he received a pay increase every year, but zero times zero was still zero.” Alfred was a master sportsman – trapping, hunting and fishing; bagging his last deer at age 94; he enjoyed creating fishing lures for family and friends and grew the biggest sunflowers ever. Alfred was a devoted Christian and member of the Meeker Assembly of God Church and held a minister"s license with that denomination. When needed, he served as interim pastor for several churches in northwest Oklahoma and Texas areas. Alfred never met a stranger and was a quiet, kind and gentle man. Most of all he was a man of integrity, his honesty was above reproach (if an item cost $2.98 you didn"t round it up to $3.00 – that was dishonest). He was the kind of man that his grandsons" say “I want to be like him.” | https://www.shawfuneralhome.net/obituary/1289754 | ||

| ADD | FINCK, HOWARD M. | 424/K, 424/SVC | 11/16/2015 | Howard M. Finck November 16, 2015 Howard M. Finck, longtime DeWitt resident and pillar of the community, died peacefully on November 16, 2015. He was 91 years old and known widely for his devotion to family and friends, community service, and many acts of kindness to others. He was born in 1924 in Grand View, a tiny village on the west bank of the Hudson River, 20 miles north of New York City. He grew up fishing for crabs, kyacking, and odd jobbing with a gang of boys who became life-long friends known as the River Rats. Drafted into the Army out of high school, he found himself in Europe during the closing days of World War II, as part of the 106th Infantry Division. His untested unit had arrived only days before Hitler launched the Battle of the Bulge, the last great battle of the war on December 16, 1944. For valor in combat, Howard was awarded the Bronze Star. Howard returned from the war on a troop ship that docked in Piermont, NY, a mile from his boyhood home. He enrolled in college at Rensselear Polytechnic Institute, in Troy, New York. While at RPI, he met his future wife, Virginia Breeden Cheney, of Manlius, New York, and a fellow student at nearby Russell Sage College. He graduated in 1950 with a degree in mechanical engineering and married "Ginny" later that year. After a brief stint working for Stanley Tools in New Britain, CT, Howard was offered a position as an engineer at Carrier Corp. in Syracuse, which pleased the new couple because of Ginny's deep family ties to Manlius. In 1960, they purchased a house on Cornwall Drive in DeWitt, which remained their home for the next 55 years. Their married lives on Cornwall coincided with the Golden Age of Carrier in Syracuse. Howard was deeply committed to his job in the Heavy Machinery Division and was a key member of a team of engineers that designed, sold, manufactured and installed complex units that cooled major hospitals, convention centers, commercial and governmental buildings across the country. In the post-war period, Carrier played a major role in transforming the economy of the South and Southwest and for decades Howard was part of that enterprise. In the course of raising two sons, John, born in 1953, and Bruce, born in 1957, Howard and Ginny became deeply active in the civic life of DeWitt. Howard was an assistant scoutmaster of Troop 22, known then in the local scouting world as one of the most active. He and another scoutmaster were the first to paddle down Butternut Creek to demonstrate that a canoe race could be held in the stream's fast spring currents. The DeWitt Kiwanis Canoe Race grew to attract hundreds of Scout and Explorer contestants from upstate New York. For years, as the course's starter, Howard donned high boots and stood for hours in the frigid waters of Butternut Creek launching canoe after canoe. He served Troop 22 for two decades and helped many DeWitt boys achieve the rank of Eagle Scout, including both his sons. The DeWitt Fire Department became Howard's next passion. He was appointed to fill a vacancy on the DeWitt Fire District's Board of Fire Commissioners on February 2, 1982. Two years later, he was elected to the first of four five-year terms. Howard served a total of 22 years on the Board of Fire Commissioners. For 13 years, Howard was Chairman, and known for his graphs and charts and the ability to explain complicated problems. "Howard guided the DFD through many changes," said Jason Green, DeWitt Fire Chief. "He was frugal but progressive and knew where every penny went. When the State audited the Department in 2002, under his watch, every nickel was accounted for. He set standards for us that we still follow. And we never saw Howard without a smile on his face." Howard was a longtime member of the DeWitt Community Church and served as chairman of the Building and Grounds Committee for many years. His mechanical and organizational talents were put to good use as the church grew and expanded, most recently in the design and renovation of the Millar Commons, the Church's most-widely used space. Howard never retired from being active. In his 70's, he and his grandson, Kyle, traveled to Thailand as a two-some. In his late 80's he traveled to Prague and London with his family. While visiting St. Paul's Cathedral in London, he proudly climbed 257 stairs by himself to reach the Cathedral's famous Whispering Gallery. For many years, he spent long summers at Lake Sunapee, NH, also with his family. But he always returned to Cornwall Drive where he was endeared for his keen interest in the well being of his neighbors and their children. He was a fixture at block parties, neighborhood soup dinners, and backyard movie nights. Several years ago he donated an ice skating rink to the neighborhood that is put up each winter and enjoyed by young skaters. Howard was counted on in DeWitt and beyond, and his natural warmth and spirit created goodness wherever he went. Howard is survived by his son, John and daughter-in-law, Eve Burton of New York City; son Bruce and daughter-in-law Gail Finck of Lake Mary, FL; a much beloved older brother, Arnold W. Finck of Palisades, NY, and two grandchildren, Kyle and Katherine Finck. A memorial service will be held at the DeWitt Community Church on Saturday, December 19 at 1 p.m. The family will greet friends at the church following the memorial service. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be sent to the DeWitt Community Library, 3649 Erie Blvd., DeWitt, NY 12314, earmarked for the Howard and Virginia Finck Library Fund. Arrangements are being handled by the Fairchild & Meech DeWitt Chapel.

Regiment, 106th Infantry Division, was killed in the New Orient Mine explosion in Southern Illinois on December 21, 1951. His remains were recovered from the mine on Sunday, December 23, at about 4 p.m. Joe was a native of Benton, Illinois and he is survived by his wife, Mrs. Joseph L. Fitzpatrick and one daughter, Karen Lee, nine years of age. Truly, this family has been struck hard by fate. The Fitzpatrick"s lost two fine sons: Michael Leroy in 1941 and Hobart Lawrence who was born on May 23. 1951, died three days later. In 1947, Joe attended the first reunion of the 106th Infantry Division in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he met Fred Twarok of Chicago, Illinois, who was a close buddy from the same unit of the Golden Lion Division. Fred and Joe had visited each other quite frequently since this first reunion. Upon hearing about this mine explosion and having knowledge that Joe worked there, Fred immediately telephoned Mrs. Fitzpatrick to make inquiry regarding Joe. Rendering all the assistance he could, Fred arrived at the scene of the tragedy on Christmas Night and served as a pall-bearer for Joe. What a blessing it was for Joe's old buddy Fred to help at a time like this. This news of Joe has saddened his many friends in the old outfit, and we are indeed sorry that Joe's passing follows so closely the loss of two of his fine sons. Joe's family is close to all in the 106th and we all are praying for Mrs. Fitzpatrick and daughter, Karen Lee. God Bless Them. | |

| 70 | 3 | Nov, 2014 | FORSYTHE, JAMES DANIEL 'J.D.' | 424/I | 10/7/2014 | Born in Manila, March 28, 1923, Golden Lion Jim Forsythe was the son of Floyd Lee and Allie Mae McCain Forsythe. He attended several country schools in the area, graduating from Leachville High School in 1942. Following high school, like so many young men of the era, he didn"t wait for the draft call, he volunteered to serve in the U.S. Army. Assigned to the 97th Infantry Division, he would report to Camp Atterbury, Indiana for training, then on to San Luis Obispo, CA, for amphibious training. When his training was completed, Forsythe was transferred to the 106th Division and was soon on his way to the European Theatre. At Lomerswieller, Belgium he was assigned as a runner in Company A, 1st Bn, 424th Regiment. In the early evening of Dec. 16, 1944, his unit was scattered sparsely in a holding action and armed with only 40 rounds of ammunition per soldier when Germans attacked. Most of his squad was killed in the first few minutes of the battle. Five survivors, including Forsythe, hid in a root cellar. They were soon discovered and captured by the German SS Troops. The prisoners were eventually taken to a train station and loaded in boxcars. Most of the prisoners came down with severe dysentery and many did not survive the trip to Stalag 12-A at Limburg, Germany. In less than a year, he went from a healthy 178 pounds to a 105-pound man in very poor health. He was among the liberated prisoners taken to Reims, France and after many weeks in the hospital he eventually made his way home to Leachville. His many commendations and medals include three Bronze Stars, European African Middle East Campaign with Bronze Star, Combat Infantryman Badge, Sharp Shooter Medal, Sniper Medal, Missing Prisoner of War Medal and the Purple Heart. Following his discharge, Mr. Forsythe relocated to California and made a successful life. He received a degree in mechanical engineering and spearheaded challenging tasks including starting a company known as Applied Pyrotection, which was a fire protection and safety engineering firm. He had over 8,000 documented designs and installations, including projects on atomic energy, sawmills, lumber camps, power stations and other industrial giants located within Silicon Valley. Not only a scholar, Jim was an accomplished ballroom dancer, gourmet cook, played classical mandolin and had won many awards for hydroponics gardening. Submitted by Thomas L. Delcre | |

| ADD | FRIEDMAN, SYDNEY S. 'SKIP' | 422/HQ | 2/23/2017 | Sydney “Skip” Friedman, 92, of Shaker Heights died Feb. 23, 2017. Skip was born in Cleveland on April 24, 1924, to Louis and Pearl Friedman. He graduated from John Adams High School in 1942. The son of eastern European immigrants who came to Cleveland in 1922 to carve out a better life for their sons, Skip naturally enlisted to fight in World War II. In spring 1942, as he was departing for basic training in Alabama from Cleveland Union Terminal, a group of what Skip would have called “coeds” came to “say goodbye to the boys.” Among those women were the Klausner twins, Penny and Ruth, and as the men boarded the train, Penny suggested the two of them write to each other. That fateful meeting, their correspondence and two dates before Skip shipped overseas, sustained him through the terrors and sorrows of war, that included being captured at the Battle of the Bulge. He became a POW at Bad Orb and ultimately endured Stalag 9A at Ziegenhain, Germany, until he was liberated on March 30, 1945, during the week of Passover that year. He decided in that moment that he would never have a bad day and he didn"t.

After the war ended and Skip came home, the two became inseparable for the next 65 years. They married in 1948 and moved to Shaker Heights in 1959 where they lived the rest of their lives. Side by side, they raised their four children while he worked as a lawyer and she as a social studies teacher at Shaker Heights High School. Together, they built cherished friendships, participated in innumerable community and political activities, cheered on Cleveland"s sports teams and traveled the world. Skip"s devotion to Penny was unwavering; he cared for her through her many years of dementia, even moving his law practice home to be with her and in her last years, and visiting her daily at Montefiore. Skip cherished each day and touched countless others with his brilliant mind (family dubbed him Skipipedia), optimism and generosity. He adored his 10 grandchildren and was especially grateful to Cassandra, who moved in with him in late 2014 and whose presence helped him to continue to live joyfully at home. In early 2016, at 91, he was hospitalized, and with his indomitable optimism, celebrated the fact that this was the first time he had been in a hospital since he was 16 when he broke a leg playing football for John Adams High School. He bragged about having the “world"s best doctors,” and by July, home again, he continued to value each day. His family is grateful to everyone at Cleveland"s VA Medical Center and especially for his team"s support in helping to bring him home where, surrounded by stacks of his books, his loved ones, and photos of Penny, he died peacefully. Skip served as board chair of Metropolitan Hospital during a time of significant growth and was also a member of the board of directors of Montefiore. He was a congregant at Anshe Chesed Fairmount Temple. Skip was a member of the local, state and federal bar associations. He enjoyed sports, politics, social justice, reading voraciously (especially history), spending time with his family and friends, watching movies on Turner Classic Movies, walking with Penny, and playing tennis. He and Penny were international travelers and enjoyed spending time on the beach. Skip is survived by his children, D. Rachel Friedman of Cleveland Heights, Peter Friedman (Marina Coleto) of Shaker Heights, Karen Friedman of Cambridge, Mass., and Amy Friedman (Dennis Danziger) of Los Angeles; grandchildren, Zena, Callie and Sophie Levan, Matthew, Alexander and Rafael Friedman, Kate (Jenny Kay, fiancé) and Max Bock, Sarah and Cassandra Fraser and Jesse Max and Molly Danziger. He is also survived by his nieces and nephews and their families – Lawrence Warren and Richard Friedman; Tom, Jim and Tera Abelson and Margie Yemini; and Paula and Lisa Klausner. He was predeceased by his wife, Pearl “Penny,” to whom he was happily married for 62 years; and his brother, Morris Friedman. Services were held Feb. 24 at Berkowitz-Kumin-Bookatz Memorial Chapel. Interment was at Mayfield Cemetery. | https://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/community/lifecycles/obituaries/friedman-sydney/article_85f79156-ff5d-11e6-8989-73d64943933f.html#:~:text=Sydney%20%E2%80%9CSkip%E2%80%9D%20Friedman%2C%2092,Adams%20High%20School%20in%201942. | ||
