We Remember

BROWN, Howard Thomas

April 7, 1936 — March 20, 2021

It is with deep sadness that we announce that our dearly loved father, Howard Thomas Brown, passed away in his home on March 20, 2021 with family by his side.

He was a talented man with numerous interests and hobbies, and he always had a project on the go in his workshop. He loved to set up technical gadgets, and none of the family could figure out how he programmed the T.V., the lights in and around the house, or the numerous webcams recording every move on the property. We spent many evenings talking past midnight because he always had so many stories to share. Dad’s sense of humour was and always will be a BIG part of us and his legacy to our family and all who were a part of his life. Dad, we are so grateful for all the love and support, and for all the wonderful memories. We love you with all our hearts and will miss you always.

Howard leaves behind his loving wife of 62 years, Carol; their two children, Gail Macdonald (Dary Hemmons) and Gary (Lori Christie) Brown; his four grandchildren, Jordan, Shannon (Brandon), Dylan, and Brandon; his brother Robert Brown; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions a private family gathering will be held in the near future to celebrate Howard’s life.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the KGH foundation in Howard’s memory, or to a charity of your choice.

    Sending my unending love and support for Carol and the family! Howard was such an joyful and happy gentleman, I had the pleasurer of talking with him and his beautiful wife Carol once or sometimes a few times a week with my work. I within my breaf time with work I became to adore both of them always looking forward to hearing from them when they called. The whole family is in my heart and thoughts and sending the biggest hug ever to Carol and Family, my deepest condolences.

    Carol and family, I was saddened to hear of Howie’s passing. I met Howie at the senior’s wood shop. He was kind, patient, and always had a twinkle in his eye. Howie’s wood carvings were amazing. May you be comforted by your memories. Sarah Braet

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.
