Ron Fields

Post by Beverly Harris »

Ron Fields, our beloved OSGA steel guitar teacher and friend, passed away this morning about 4:00 A.M. He has battled this cancer for several years and the Lord took him this morning. We will let you know details about his service as soon as we know. Keep his family in your prayers.

I'm really sad to hear this! Ron was a Good Friend of mine for several years. We had a lot of laughs and he loved the Steel Guitar and the Steel Players! He loved The Lord Jesus Christ and I expect to see him on the other side one day! Prayers for his Family and Friends!

Yes, I think he talked to Jerry Knapper a couple weeks ago and made arrangements to get together when Jerry got there. He was a great person. A few months ago, he played his arrangement of "In the Garden".
