Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Wednesday March 21, 2012

ALAN A. Age 82, of Bernalillo, NM, passed away peacefully on March 14, 2012. He was born June 29, 1930 in Hartford, Connecticut. Alan graduated from Rockville High school in Rockville, CT. He served as a Sea Bee in the United States Navy and received an Honorable Discharge during the Korean War. Alan later earned his PHD in engineering from University of Hartford. Alan started his career as a land surveyor and later became a civil engineer. Alan worked at Right Patterson Field in Dayton, Ohio, transferring to Kirtland Air Force Base in 1974 where he continued until his retirement in 1990. Alan was predeceased by his grandparents Lewis and Rosina Fielding, parents, Percy and Helen Fielding, his Aunt Nettie who helped raise him, brother-in-law, George Hahn, nephews, Billy Hahn and Tom Hahn. Alan is survived by his loving wife of 28 years, Theresa S. Fielding; his favorite sister-in-law, Priscilla Baldonado; his one and only sibling, his sister, who he loved dearly, Ruth Hahn of Atlanta, GA. He is also survived by his children, daughter Linda Binheimer and husband Keith of Vernon CT, son Chris Fielding and wife Tracy of Murietta CA, daughter Audrie Fielding and fiance Santos of Albuquerque, NM; step-daughter Rosanna Montoya and husband Joseph Duran of Bernalillo, step-son Rick Montoya of Bernalillo, NM; nine grandchildren; three great-grandchildren, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins that he loved and was deeply loved by. Alan would want a special heartfelt "Thank You" and lots of love to Eric Baldonado and wife Margaret. Alan was an easy going, calm graceful man. He projected much poise, sophistication and dignity. He did whatever he could to help others, especially those in his family. Known for his cowboy boots, and unless he was inside, you would never find him without his cowboy hat, although he would tell you he was not a cowboy, rather he liked to dress western. He was and forever will be very deeply loved and missed terribly by all that were blessed to know him. Alan has been cremated and a memorial service will be held Thursday, March 22, 2012, 1:00 pm at Sunset Memorial, 924 Menaul Blvd. NE, Albuquerque, NM in the Mausoleum.
