    I am sorry to learn of Bob’s passing. He lived a good long life. He loved the Lord. He was a faithful man. He will be greatly missed. My condolences to all the family members, with my love.

    Even after a life well lived, and a new stage begun, we mourn the loss of our dear Uncle Bob. We will miss his dry humour and kindness. Heaven is blessed to have him. Our thoughts are with the whole family. May the Lord be your support and blessing as you move forward. Unfortunately, we were not able to get to Kelowna, but we will be praying as the service proceeds.

    In January, I mailed a card and note to Bob and Lena since I was late sending out my Christmas cards. ( I live in East Lansing, MIchigan.) Yesterday, the card was returned to me, so I scanned it and sent it in an e-mail, but that was returned to me as well. So, today, I now see through my internet search that Bob passed away in late December. So……… I send my deepest sympathy to Lena and to the rest of your family. Bob was so kind to e-mail me regularly when my mother, Irmgard Grapentin Kern, of Sarnia, Ontario, was hospitalized at 100 years of age three years ago. She passed away in April, 2015. After that, Bob and I continued our occasional correspondence. His last e-mail indicated that things were getting rougher for him health-wise and for Lena too. I was so sorry to hear that.
    Bob was a very kind, warm, and interesting gentleman. May he rest in peace.
    With my sincere sympathy,
    Harriet Kern

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.
