We Remember

HOMME, Bert

—

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father and grandfather, Bert Esaias Homme.

Bert was born in Hythe, Alberta on January 8, 1932 to Gunhild Byklum and Charles Homme of Kristiansand, Norway, and passed away peacefully October 18, 2016 at 3 Links Manor , Kelowna, BC .

He was predeceased by his wife of 35 years, Mavis Terene Johnson, in November 1988. He leaves behind 4 children, Barbara Puetz of Salmon Arm, Barry and Lorne Homme of Dawson Creek, Leanne Ursel of Kelowna, along with 9 loving grandchildren.

Bert was married in 1953 and he settled in Dawson Creek where he was a successful Ford Dealer and business owner. He was an avid Curler, Golfer and baseball player. He enjoyed family times at the cabin at Moberly Lake.

He was an active member of the Elks, Kinsmen, Legion, Dawson Creek athletic association and a delegate for the Peace Curling Association as well as the Alberta Men’s and Senior Men’s Curling Association. He was a dedicated family man and we are all so blessed to have shared his life and many great memories.

The family would like to thank Bert’s many friends and the staff of Missionwood and 3 Links Manor for their friendship and care. A special thank you for his best friend Roy Nergaard , of Kelowna, BC for all the Tim Hortons coffee visits and the repeated stories and good laughs.

A service will be held in Dawson Creek at the Grace Lutheran Church on October 29th, at 11 am with an Interment for family only at the Norden Cemetery, 3 miles east of LaGlace, AB where he will lay to rest with his loving wife Mavis.

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.
