    Some people may not know that Uncle Bill loved fire trucks and that he would sometimes, on his way home from work, follow them to the fire that they were attending. One day when he followed the fire truck he was shocked to find that it went to his own home. Aunt Etheleen had a minor cooking mishap. I think he lost his interest after that. :}
    I have many fond memories of Uncle Bill but what first comes to mind when I think of him is his wonderful sense of humor. He loved to tell stories and loved to laugh. I had a great visit with him in Kelowna last year and, even though his body was failing him, he told me lots of great stories and we had a lot of great laughs. He certainly lived a full and happy life. My thoughts are with you Bill and Brenda. Sending you lots of love. Deb

    The Lee family has been in my life all my life. My Dad and Bill worked together when I was just a babe and I fondly remember his beaming smile and hearty laugh, his kindness and his generosity and the way he treated our family like, well, family. I got to tag along with him and my Dad when they played golf and I still remember his vintage plaid golf bag and the way he encouraged me and tolerated my chatterbox behaviour on the course. Brenda and Bill, you were so fortunate to have had him with you for 90 years and while I know that you will miss him, you have a lifetime of memories to carry with you. Linnea and I send our thoughts and our love to you. Take care and shine on. Dave

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.
