Where Heritage and Life are celebrated.

James Allen “Al” Redfield

June 2, 1942- August 31, 2021

James Allen (Al) Redfield, age 79, of Lusby, MD passed away on August 31st, surrounded by his loving family and friends.  Al lived a fulfilling life as a husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. He was born on June 2nd, 1942, in Athens Alabama, to the late Katherine A. Redfield and late James Howard Coffman. Al’s family moved to Schenectady NY, then Baltimore MD, and later planted routes in Northern Virginia, where he graduated from McLean High School, in 1961. He served in the United States Navy for many years where he was stationed on the USS Richard E. Krus (DD-849) and was deployed during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Cynthia B. Redfield, son Scott Redfield and wife Marie of Lusby, MD, daughter Christine Conner and husband Todd of Great Falls, VA, grandchildren Lydia and Jack Conner, sisters Jean Hall of Dumfries VA, and Betty Hatt of Fairfax, VA and several nieces and nephews.

His contributions to the lives of many include Coaching Little League Baseball, organizing Cruise for Kids, and many hours on the pier of Solomons Island Yacht Club, where he was very active. He was an avid Hunter, Fisherman and a member of the American Legion and Brotherhood of the Coast. Above all, he was a patriotic American.

Interment will be private, and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in Al’s name may be made to Solomons Volunteer Rescue Squad & Fire Department.

    Cynde, Scott, Marie and Family,
    Al will be truly missed. We always enjoyed the boat cruises that he coordinated. He was always there with a smile and assisted whenever help was needed. He made sure everyone had a great time.
    You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Remember all the many wonderful memories you have of the special times you have shared.

    Condolences to Al’s family. He was a good man and will be missed. Al hired me at Nabisco 35 years ago. Thanks to Al I have had a wonderful career. I am happy to see he retired doing something he enjoyed.
