    Dear Kathy and Family,

    We live with our twins 4 houses down on Charleswood from where you both lived. We are sad to hear of Harry’s passing and send our condolences to you all. We sure have missed seeing him on the street walking the pupfor a few years now. We used to enjoy having our usual fishing chats with him and swapping tips. He was a wonderful and kind man. Thinking of you all.

      Leaving Charleswood was difficult but needed with Harry’s condition. We are so grateful for years we had there & the wonderful, supportive neighbors. I dare not take Misu on the street – would make a bee-line for what she thinks is our home! However, we’re adjusting. Many thanks. Kathy

      thank-you carol – wish we could have returned to Charleswood after the fire – not to be. Am adjusting to my new status as a “widow” – seems this is a growing “club” for us in the 70’s. god Bless Kathy

    Kathy, our condolences, so sad to hear the news of Harry’s passing. We got to know Harry during his last few working years and he was a wonderful and kind gentleman, always a pleasure to be around. He will always be remembered at the shop. We are sorry for your loss.

      Harry thoroughly enjoyed his working years at Sunshine pools – visited often after his retirement – believe it was the most satisfying job he ever had as a sales person. thank-you for remembering his contribution. Kathy

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.
