We Remember

HILLER, Werner (AKA “Long Legs”)

January 4, 1944 — August 26, 2021

Werner Hiller passed away unexpectedly and peacefully on August 26, 2021, at the age of 77. He has gone to join the ones he loved and those that loved him.

Werner was born in Poland on January 4, 1944, and eventually took the long boat trip to Canada, after which he mainly lived in Alberta with family located around British Columbia and in Kelowna, BC

Werner, AKA “Long Legs”, had many serving jobs throughout his life and was a character with a wild side, as well as a very caring side. He went through many tough times, but he always fought in his own way. He was a master of the yard and will be remembered for his very, VERY, green thumb!

Werner goes to join his mother, Pauline; father, Edward; and sister, Erika, who predeceased him.

Thank you to the staff at Springfield Funeral Home, who have been so gracious and kind throughout this difficult journey, as well as through previous family experiences.

In the future the family will create a Patio Memorial in Werner’s memory for loved ones to view in their own time.

In Lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation, a cause that is very meaningful to Werner’s family.

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.
