Amesbury - On Wednesday, January 18, 2023, Richard Alan ("Rick") Field of Amesbury, beloved father, brother, grandfather, and friend, passed away at the age of 69 after a brief illness. Rick was born on December 17, 1953, to Jack and Rita Field and was a lifelong resident of Amesbury. He was a graduate of Amesbury High School and worked as a manager in both sheet metal fabrication and retail for forty years. He married Jackie Tremblay in 1972, and they had two children of whom he was extremely proud. Though the marriage eventually ended, Rick and Jackie remained close friends until the end of his life. Rick was known for his outgoing personality and silly sense of humor. He was happiest when he was spending time with people, whether it was with his customers at the Circle K store that he managed for many years, camping in New Hampshire and Maine with his family and friends, going out for seafood dinners with his sister and niece, or chatting with his new neighbors at Heritage Towers. He had no patience for reading books, rainy days, slow computers, or politics. He enjoyed watching football, taking scenic drives through New Hampshire, and spoiling his seven grandchildren with their favorite treats. He bragged about his kids to anyone who would listen, visited his grandsons every Sunday, always called his daughter "Pumpkin," and loved his (late) cat Roscoe. Being a dad brought out the best in him. Rick was very open about his struggles with alcohol addiction and his journey to sobriety. He had great empathy for those who struggled with anxiety and addiction - he and his family were immensely proud to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of his sobriety on July 21, 2022. He used to say that if he could do it, then he was sure it was possible for anyone. Rick will be deeply missed. He was preceded in death by his father, Jack, his mother, Rita, his brothers Wayne and Mike, his nephew Mike Jr., and his niece Theresa Whittier. He is survived by his daughter Wendi and her husband Christopher of Glastonbury, CT, his son Jeff and his wife Carrie Ann Conroy of Salisbury, MA, his sister Diane Donovan of Amesbury, his brother Gary Field and his wife Dawn of Amesbury, his brother Jack Field and his wife Paula of North Hampton, NH, his ex-wife and friend, Jackie Tremblay of Newton, NH, his grandchildren Owen, Jackson, Alex, Jacob, Colby, Willa, and Zinnia, and several nieces and nephews. A private service will be held at E.V. Jutras Funeral Home in Amesbury, MA. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Rick's name to Windrush Farm in North Andover, MA (https://www.windrushfarm.org).
