We Remember

DALTON, John Lloyd

May 1, 1934 — June 16, 2017

Lloyd was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the first child of William and Bernice (nee McLean).  Lloyd left school as a young man to work for CNR as a telegrapher and was stationed in many small whistle-stops in western and central Canada.  He returned to Winnipeg to complete high school and an honors Bachelor of Science in chemistry at the University of Manitoba.  Several years later he earned a Master’s degree from Carleton University.  Lloyd met the love of his life, Joyce, in 1957 at a Winnipeg ski club social event and the two were married in 1958.  They moved to Ottawa shortly after the birth of their first son Ken (Thanh) in 1962 and had a second son Bruce (Lindsay) in 1964.  They enjoyed a successful and active life in Ottawa until retirement in the early 1990’s.

Lloyd worked at the department of Energy, Mines and Resources for the federal government in Ottawa for 30 years as an analytical chemist.  He loved to spend time active in the outdoors, in particular skiing, paddling, golf and leisure activities at the cottage.

He was predeceased by his sisters Lynn (Skelly) and Carol (Foerester).  He is survived by his beloved wife Joyce, sons Ken of Ottawa and Bruce of Calgary and grandchildren Ben and Annie of Ottawa.

    Joyce, my sincere condolences to you. I loved looking after Belle and seeing you and Lloyd after your day on the slopes or some other adventure. Sorry I missed the service on Friday, I didn’t know about it.

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.
