    Anytime you met Lynn you would always get a “Hi, How’s it going” accompanied with that little smile. He was always upbeat and willing to have some fun and laughs. We have very fond memories of good times at the lake. You always got the impression from him that he wanted the best for everyone. It just seems that the best ones are taken too soon. He will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Kim, Tracy and Brett.

    Kim, Tracy and Brett; It was an honor to be involved with caring for your husband and father in his final month. I have no doubt that Lynn is well aware as are the staff at hospice of his loving, sensible and sensitive family. Peace

    Kim & family, I’m so sorry to hear of Lynn’s passing. We grew up together, birthday parties, ponies, pedal bikes, & school. As we grew up, we had common friends and activities, often playing pool at his house. I remember his first car was a faded (to pink) Volkswagen. Then, as school ended, he moved to Saskatoon eventually going into business there. We saw each other occasionally when he came home and the odd time in Saskatoon. Lynn was always Lynn, a good friend, not one who could be bought or sold. One who will be always remembered by me. I am deeply touched by his passing and our thoughts and prayers will be with you and the family. Neil and Wanda

    I am so sorry that you have lost your dad so young. My earliest memory of him was when I was a very small child and he came out to the farm for a visit. I was coloring and I asked if he wanted to color too. He was so sweet. He crouched down and colored a purple tutu on a dancer before he made an excuse to leave me. Sorry we can’t make it to the memorial.

    Yes, Lynn died too soon. Death like an enemy chases after us and how sad it is when our loved ones are overtaken. Take courage, God is in control, he has the victory over death (Isaiah 26:19). Our loved ones who are powerless in death, he promises that he will bring back to life. The patriarch Job pondered over life and asked “if an able-bodied man dies can he live again?”. The reassuring answer is ‘yes’. (Job 14:13-15). When God calls the dead will answer. May you be comforted by God’s guaranteed promises and by the memories of Lynn that you will always cherish.

    Kim, Tracey, Brett,

    I am so so sorry. What an amazing man. I have so many wonderful memories from growing up with you Trace. I felt as close to your family as I did my own through those important younger years we shared.

    Love you all….

    Kim, I am so sorry to hear about Lynn’s passing. We had been away and didn’t hear until just now. Lynn was a great friend to my dad and I am so pleased that they were able to reconnect these past few years. My thoughts will be with your family during this difficult time.

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.
