Lt. Charles M. Fields (Ret.) Passes Away
This picture of Charlie was taken around 1994 by Maurice WisemanIt is with deepest regret that I bring sad news to the Roanoke Firefighters. Lt. Charles M. Fields, who went by Charlie, passed away due to lung cancer. Charlie was hired by the Roanoke Fire Department on January 1, 1965 and retired on January 1, 1999 with 34 years of service. Charlie was stationed at fire station 13 when he retired, although most of the stories I have heard of were of when he was a Lt. on Ladder 2 at station 2.
The arrangements for Charlie's funeral are as follows:
Visitation Sunday (tomorrow) 2-4pm and 7-9pm at Oakeys South (Brambleton Ave).
Funeral Services will be monday at Oakeys South and the burial will be at Blue Ridge Memorial Gardens.
If you would like to help with the Honor Guard, please contact Todd Reighley at station 7 today 853-2414.
Sunday, you can contact me at station 10, 853-2598.
