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.

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.

To Cynde, Scott, Chrissy and entire family Al and I are so so sad and know it will be hard to visit the Yacht Club and not be greeted by Al and his wonderful caring ways. We enjoyed boating with Al and Cynde and visiting with them in Key West. We loved Al and will never forget how nice he was always to us. Our prayers are with the entire family. We will miss him so so much.
