    We always enjoyed visits with Aunt Anne and Uncle Clem — both in person and by phone. He always had the time to listen and of course the time to talk!! Love and concern forever expressed, with laughter and wisdom.Sometimes we called him Carl just too see him grin! Take care and say hi to your Anne.

    My Uncle Clem was always someone to rely upon for his integrity and his faith. And of course for his hilarious sense of humour for which I will always remember him with love and affection. My son Joseph met Clem only once and enjoyed him so much, laughing with him and his delightful way of making gentle and loving fun of life. We will miss Uncle Clem.

    Although the times spent with Uncle Clem (and Auntie Anne) were sometimes not frequent, they did span many years. About 70, I guess. And all were memorable, particularly the more recent visits to Westbank with my mother, who is Clem’s only sister. Uncle Clem was always a charming host, full of memories and stories from long ago. In this way, he has connected me with those who came before, especially my grandparents and I know he is glad to be home with them and his Anne.

    We so enjoyed our yearly visits with Aunty Anne and Uncle Clem and will miss them both. Uncle Clem always had a story to tell and loved to share his love of cooking with Harvey who also loves to cook. He loved to garden and shared many tips with us and taught Harv how to properly prune our apple trees. He will always be remembered with lots of love.

    Clem was a god sent to Crescent Beach I think of him often for all the good tales we share from 40+years ago. I am asking family if they would object to my writing a short story to send to CBC radio station to be read -hopefully on the Stuart McLean
    If you like you could call me and I would share a them.

    For one I was new to BC, to Canada, from Michigan . I was happy my car broke down and I landed in Crescent Beach. Your uncle stepped up with a letter and asked me if I was Sally Canby. I smiled at his smile and said I was. With a lilt in his voice and a twinkle he announced-“Sally Canby-Sally CAN BE anything she wants to be. Well no one in 30 years ever made me feel so good about my name and the expectations it laid on me. new country, new life and I’m told by a wise old postie that I can be anything I want to be.
    That is just one story – They are all good .
    We were all luck to have Clem as a friend and postie

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
