    Dale – thank you so much for your wonderful friendship over the past 40 years. It seems like yesterday that you moved into our Calgary neighborhood and the ritual of bridge games, dinners, visiting over the backyard fence, and later visits to various cities you settled in when your job relocated you from Calgary. Wonderful host, chef, people person, gardener (remember the fire department showing up at your house when burning garden cleanup in the fall!), card shark and a loving husband and dad. Our condolences to you Elouise, Bill and Colleen. Rest in peace Dale – we will miss you. Love, Barney & Pat, Carefree,, Az.

    Elouise; So sorry to hear of Dales death. I shared some fun memories with Dale during a couple of the election campaigns. He did have a gentle heart.

    Back in the late 1980’s, Dale was President of Westbrook Construction which was owned by PCL and eventually would become the PCL Civil Constructors that we have today. Dale would frequently come to Florida to review our bids. He would sometimes work his trip it in with a cruise or other vacation so he would be in his casual clothes (Hawaiian shirt, shorts and sandals) which we all found a little amusing in the bid review!
    I was amazed at the amount of knowledge Dale had without having to reference any books, binders, etc. But the thing that he had going for him the most was his people skills. What a great man and positive leader. I never heard a negative or pessimistic word out of his mouth. He always had a good joke or something to laugh about. He is a great example of leadership by building people up, not tearing them down.
    Dale liked to get away from the office and take impromptu walks with individual employees to get to know us on a more personal level. I was very young at the time but I was fortunate to be invited on one of those walks with him. I will always consider him as one of my top all time mentors.

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.
