Ray D. Field

GREENE – Ray Dennison Field of Greene died Monday, June 14, 2022, in Lewiston following a short illness.

He was born in Greene on Sept. 27, 1933, the second of four sons to Francis and Arlene (Parker) Field. He was raised on a farm, attended local schools and – among all of his brothers – developed a lifelong affinity for cars.

As a young man, Ray enlisted in the U.S. Army and served primarily in Germany from 1956-59.

For many years, Ray worked as a salesman at Louis Chevrolet in Auburn, and later retired from his own business, Ray’s Car Care.

Beloved for his quick wit and broad sense of humor, Ray was the life of every party. For his grandkids especially he spoke in a made-up language to amuse and confuse them. To his later years he could – and would – imitate a cat’s meow or a dog’s bark on demand and in public. He also was an avid NASCAR fan and loved attending the races in Oxford in his younger years. He had a need for speed.

Ray was predeceased by his parents; his brothers Maynard and Percy; his daughter Nancy Wasenda; and his wife Esther Turner Field.

He is survived by his youngest brother Lloyd Field and wife Dawn of Tennessee; daughters, Barbara Harlow and husband Jack of Indiana, Susan Bubier-Chambers and husband Cliff of Greene; sons Stanley Bubier Jr. and wife Penny of Greene and Sheldon Bubier and wife Judy of Greene; grandchildren Raylene, Willie, Joey, Tom, Paula, Stan III, Kristie, Marcia and Becca; 26 great-grandchildren; six great-great grandchildren; many nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, July 9, at 11 a.m., at Funeral Alternatives, 8 Tampa St., in Lewiston.
