sorry for your loss.

Barney and I flew together for many years. Barney was the person I did my telephone interview with when I was hired on as a loadmaster. He only asked me two questions, "Are you old enough to shave?" and "Do you drink beer?" After answering yes to both, he said "your hired!". Shortly after becoming a loadmaster, Barney was my first contact for references to be hired into Civil Service at the JPPSO office in Colo Sprgs. A long lasting career of 13 years now. Thank you, Barney, for opening the door to my future. He will be missed and I am honored to call him a friend. I just have to smile everytime I think of him.

I took my first flight on a C-130 with Barney as a loadmaster in 1989. We were doing touch and goes in Pueblo and shut down an engine. Being new in the plane and thinking we should have four operating engines and not three, I gave him a nervous glance and held up three fingers referring to our three still spinning props. He looked back at me, smiled, held up two fingers, and went back to eating a burrito. I then knew we were going to be ok. It's almost been 20 years since I saw Barney give me that look and I think of it anytime I'm having a bad day in the plane. It reminds me that a C-130 will fly and get me home safe. Thank you Barney. You'll be missed.

Rest in peace my ALCF brother. Your work is done here and rest easy knowing the rest of us will carry on the missions.

Dee, Just want you to know I care. Love Aunt Mabel

Dee,Ricky and Jason
We are so sorry for your loss.We will miss our brother and uncle everyday.I love you brother.

What a small world. I have known Barney from his work at JPPSO and I would talk about him at home to my husband. After his passing I took a copy of the Obituary home from the paper and Brandon knew him thru Simla school where he went to school. Wonderful man will be missed greatly.

Fifield Family,

May you find comfort in the Lord during your time of sorrow; our deepest sympathy to you and your loved ones.

We served with Barney in the 39th MAPS for many years, and what a delightful person he was! Know you are all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Dee and Family,

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Barney was a great guy and I am glad I knew him.

Barney was a breath of fresh air to the JPPSO. We were a better organization because of his dedication, honesty and devotion to duty. He was a good friend

I will forever be grateful to Rich for encouraging me to find the courage to ask my future father-in-Law (his brother Tim) for his blessing to marry his daughter Jennifer. I believe that he knew that if you truly love someone, you should not waste a second.

To the Fifield Family. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. It has been many years since I served with him at the 39th MAPS, but I have not forgotten him. He was always so pleasant to be around

Aunt Dee, Jason and Ricky
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Uncle Rick was a special guy who had countless memories with us. He could light up a room with his smile and i always looked up to him. Lord took him from us so that he could serve and protect the heavens gates. I Love You and miss you.

"Behold, God is my salvation;
I will trust,and will not be afraid;
for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation." Isaiah 12:2 Dee you will always be in our thoughts and prayers.

Barney will be greatly missed. We, in the ALCF, have lost a brother...

Fifield Family,

I wish you comfort and peace at this difficult time. I worked with Barney at the JPPSO and the kindness and generosity that he shared with us will never be forgotten.

Lord, teach us to number our days that we might gain a heart of wisdom. Help us to seek you with all our hearts while you can still be found.

Dee and Family ~
We will miss Rich sitting behind us in church. But we rejoice in his being restored, free of illness and riding his John Deere in the heavens. Our prayers are with you.

Dear Fifield Family, my heart and prayers go out to you in this time of loss. I knew Barney as a man with a big heart and a helping hand. He was also a great cook, especially for his fellow reservists at Peterson AFB. I'm a better person having known Barney. Forward, March, Barney!

"Barney" provided long and faithful service to the 302nd Airlift Wing; the Air Force Reserve; and, to the country that he loved. A well traveled and experienced flyer...
he has reached out and touched the face of God.

Barney,
It was an honor and a pleasure to have worked with you. Rest in peace, my friend.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.
