We Remember

HOLTOM, William

—

Peacefully succumbing to COPD on February 15, 2017, Bill went to be the Lord Jesus and His Angels in Heaven. Leaving behind his loving wife of 60 years Loretta, who was his angel and the love of his life; his five loving children Terry (Deb) of Kelowna, Donna (Norm) of Panoka, Sonia of Grande Prairie, Connie (Kevin) of Kelowna and Allen (Corrie) of West Kelowna; as well as his eleven loving grandchildren Nik, Ashley, Cody, Bryce, Reid, Priscilla, Amber, Chelsea, Dayne, Dallas and Jacob; two great grandchildren Masia and Asia.

William was born in Prince Albert, Saskatoon in 1934. He was extremely gifted with his hands, building almost every house for his family to live in. He retired in 1989 from BC Tel after 35 years of dedicated service, which was a career that allowed him and his family to live in many communities throughout BC. He also built quality furniture in his shop as a side business in Dawson Creek. He loved the smell of wood (especially cedar), to work hard and play hard, to camp, RV (to Yuma), hunt, fish, garden, watch hockey, cook gourmet meals, barbeque on his deck for his family and to live life to the fullest. He always had a passion and a respect for the outdoors and loved spending time on his boat in Kitimat.

He will be missed greatly. Enjoy that glass of wine in heaven. We celebrate your life! Cheers to a great man.  Donations in William’s memory may be made to the Canadian Lung Association/COPD by visiting www.lung.ca/copd.If you wish to send a condolence, post photos or share a memory, please scroll down the page to the area called “Share Your Condolences.”

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.
