We Remember

RESZITNYK, Raymond Norman

1943 — 2019

Ray passed away at the Kelowna General Hospital on Friday, November 22, 2019 at the age of 76. Ray was born on May 6, 1943 in Ethelbert, Manitoba.  He worked as an engineer most of his life, loved curling, hockey, golf and Ukrainian music; something he always listened to when driving home to Manitoba.  Ray was someone who was loved by everyone he met; always the guy with a joke, but also a listening ear when you needed it.  Ray deeply loved his family, especially his grandchildren, and he will be greatly missed. He is survived by his loving daughter Raelene Reszitnyk of Calgary, AB; grandchildren Daymen Reszitnyk-Martina, Allyssa Reszitnyk-Martina, Kayden Reszitnyk-Keith, Anya Reszitnyk-Keith all of Calgary, AB.  He is also survived by siblings Kathleen Guttman of Aylmer, ON, Marion (Norm) Gilbert of DeKalb, Illinois, and Anne Dupley (Alex) of Gilbert Plains, MB; sister-in-law Ann Rennie; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family. Ray was predeceased by his parents Paul and Justyna; his brothers Michael, Harry, Alex (Walda), and Dave; and his sisters Jessie and Cassie (Frank).

    I was so sorry to hear of Uncle Ray’s passing Raelene. Your dad always made himself available whenever I was in Kelowna. I will remember him fondly for his kind and gentle ways and alway being genuine. One time he gave me a really cool tour of Kelowna to parts beyond my usual stomping ground. While the Okanagan was changing a lot over his life, he loved calling Kelowna home. My condolences to the whole family. It is a sad loss for all who knew and loved him.

    I am so sorry for your loss. I cut Rays hair at my barbershop for many years. He was such a kind lovely man with a huge gentle heart always with a warm smile and a big hello. He talked about those grandchildren alot and his drives to Manitoba. He was taken from all of you way to soon. Rest in peace my friend.

Testimonials

Springfield Funeral Home is always professional, caring and very knowledgeable.  We appreciate that you have dedicated staff for all needs from planning the service to completing government paperwork.

Timothy Morio Tahara

I am not sure there was anything you could have done to make a very intense emotional time less stressful.  Although we hadn’t expected Ken to want a service, when he said we needed to have one for us not him, it was true.  Your sincerity and compassion meant everything to us.  Thank you.

Gwen Harvie

David Henseleit, your compassion and professionalism is truly amazing!  The entire staff were courteous, super professional and caring as each guest arrived.  Everything was done to perfection!

Myra Neuman

Keep up the good work that you do as it is such an important service you provide.  It is still the most difficult time in a person’s life.  Your kindness is so appreciated.  We appreciated the peace of mind that everything was being looked after.

Gloria Couture

You provide a wonderful service for people going through a traumatic time.  Thank You.  The kindness and professionalism shown by the staff at Springfield Funeral Home was exemplary.

 

Kim McCaveney

Thank you David and staff for your help in letting us say goodbye to our wonderful Mom, Granny, Great-Granny and Friend.  It was a beautiful service and your attention to the details, care and concern eased our hearts so much.

From the family of Joan Churchill

We had many friends and relatives that were not able to come to the service so we found the live-stream capabilities was HUGE.  David Henseleit and the staff were professional, courteous and friendly, helping us with things we did not think of and always gave constructive advice and alternatives.  Springfield went beyond due diligence.

Harold Huber

The service of the staff at this funeral home is beyond exceptional.  They certainly go an extra mile to help out.  It was comforting to have David Henseleit assist us with all the arrangements.  It was much easier dealing with the loss of a loved one when there is so much care and support provided.

Michael Pawluk

Both my parents funerals were handled by Springfield Funeral Home.  Our family is thankful for how they handle people going through the loss of a loved one.

Dennis Hunt

Springfield Funeral Home’s family care department was very helpful to us when my Dad passed in 2013.  They got us started with a pre-payment plan in anticipation for my Mom’s passing.  We were very grateful for their foresight in our situation.  I would highly recommend your place of business to others.
