We Remember

LOGIE, David Christopher

—

1937 – 2023

We are saddened to announce that David passed away on June 29, 2023. Thankfully, his passage was a peaceful one.  His wife, Barbara, was at his side.

David is lovingly remembered by Barbara, their two sons, Stuart (Shauna) and Michael (Wendy) and two granddaughters, Ashia and Jessica, his sister-in-law Muriel Logie and family, members of the Tupman family and many friends in Canada and the United States. He was predeceased by his father and mother, Jim and Ethelwyn Logie, and his brother, John.

David was born in Kelowna on October 16, 1937.  He went to school here and graduated from Kelowna High School where his father was principal. David then attended UBC and attained his Bachelor of Commerce Degree in 1960.

David began his career with the Hudson’s Bay Company. During a span of 25 years with the Bay, he was posted to various cities including Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary, Kelowna, and Surrey.  For most of his time with the Bay, he held senior management positions, including as store manager in a number of locations and as regional manager. Upon retiring from the Bay, David purchased a Home Hardware franchise in Tsawwassen.  He owned and operated that store for 11 years.

In 1996, David and Barbara retired to their beautiful home on Wood Lake in Oyama where the family would gather each August to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries.  Their home was on a site originally discovered by David’s father-in-law, Harry Tupman. Gradually over the years David lovingly improved and extended Harry’s original cabin. He found joy in tending to his rose garden and maintaining the stunning grounds.

David and Barbara spent many wonderful winters in Palm Desert and also enjoyed travelling to various countries in Europe and Hawaii and visiting family and friends in Santa Barbara and Mexico. Some of David’s favorite times were spent at the family cabin on Eagan Lake in the Cariboo where he indulged his passion of working on home improvement projects.

David enjoyed various sports including skiing, tennis, and golf in his retirement years.  He was also a voracious reader and enjoyed engaging in lively political discussions.

He deeply valued the friendship of his golfing buddies, the ‘Tuesday’ coffee group, and his many friends in the community.

David was a person of principle and always ready to help those in need.  He had a strong work ethic, was interested in the welfare of others, and liked to hear their stories.

The family wishes to send a special thank you to Dr. Brian Martin, Dr. Pieter Botha, and the healthcare professionals at Kelowna General Hospital, Kelowna Cancer Centre, and Hospice House for their care and compassion.

A Celebration of Life for family and friends will be held at the Kelowna Golf and Country Club, 1297 Glenmore Drive, Kelowna, BC, on Thursday, August 10, 2023, at 1:00 pm.

In lieu of flowers, and in honour of David, please consider sending a donation to the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation.

David was a very special person and will be dearly missed.

    I was so sad to hear of Dave’s passing. He was my favourite friend of my father’s and always made me smile and laugh. We had many great conversations over the years and he always took an interest in our lives and made us feel so welcome in his home. We spent some time with him and Barbara in Palm Springs when they opened up their place to us and made us feel like family. Dave was such a warm and funny person and some of my best memories are sitting on the deck with him overlooking the lake or watching him putter around the beautiful home he took such pride in improving. I feel so lucky to have known him and am sad that he is gone.

    We remember the first time we met David at your Home Hardware store, he was such an interesting man full of stories and so gracious. Our visits in Palm Springs were just as special. Thinking if you Barbara

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.
