    Judy, Doug, Diane & family, so sad to hear of Dale’s passing! As a kid, Doug was always friendly to me which I have always appreciated. I remember The Chisholms living on Lawrence Avenue many years ago and have always held Dale in high regard! His friendly, welcoming smile and superb sense of humour were valued over the years! Also, what a wonderful family he and Judy parented! Again, my condolences go out to the family!
    Respectfully,
    Dave Cousins

    Dear Judy, and girls:

    I am so sorry I missed Dales celebration of life service. I did have a very nice visit with Dale at hospice a month ago. I shared the winning lottery number with him, Found in John 17:3,…” This is eternal life, to Know God the Father and Jesus Christ, whom he sent.”

    Dale replied I believe it! So, He’s accepted his ticket, I know he’ll be a good neighbour. I’ll miss his laugh and sense of humour until then. Death is never easy to face, but with the eternal hope we have in Jesus we can look forward to a wonderful reunion.

    Until then my thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.

    with christian love, Dr. Bob Wageman

    I just noticed the death of Dale. Dale and Doug were childhood buddies of my brother Brendan and me. We spent numerous hours playing hockey together. I have NEVER forgotten Dale. Sorry to hear about his passing. He was a great guy, likewise for Doug. God Bless, Dale.

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.
