    So very shocked and sorry to see of Jim’s passing. Jim called on us in his duties with ERI. We had many wide ranging conversations on life & the engine rebuilding business and I enjoyed his company very much.I was especially suprised as we had talked for 15 minutes on Sunday at Rona. Again our deepest sympathy to all the family.

    So sorry to hear of Uncle Jim’s passing. I always enjoyed a good visit with him when he was visiting my parents. Both your Mom and Dad were so kind to Saeed and I when my Mom and Dad moved to Victoria and we were in still in Saskatoon with our brand new baby. Our condolences to all of you.

    Much love,
    Shannon and Saeed

    I began to work for Jim & his partner Ron when they started Northside Automotive in Saskatoon, SK. They were the best bosses a person could have. One day Jim called me aside and side, “Neil, I know you are putting in a lot more hours than what you put on the time card. You’re cheating yourself. I want you to be honest.” Years later, when I left to start my own business, they took us out for a wonderful steak supper and told me that the door was always open if things didn’t work out for me.

    We are very sorry for your loss, and our thoughts have been with you during this difficult time. Duane is happy to have had the chance to go for supper with Jim and Bob Ogilvie last year when Jim was in Saskatoon. He enjoyed Jim’s stories about the cat, as Duane is a cat lover too! Most sincerely, Lynne & Duane

    Jim and I were sales associates with ERI until retiring at the same time – then still conversing by e-mail – I will miss him

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.
