Devoted Husband.  Loving Father.  Servant of the Lord.  Harold was born in Hanna, Alberta and spent most of his childhood on the farm in Okotoks and Spondin, Alberta with his parents, ‘Bee’ and Rose Howery and his three brothers before they moved to Hanna, Alberta.  He enlisted in the RCAF when he was 17 and served faithfully from 1943 until 1946.  He then attended Prairie Bible Institute in Three Hills, Alberta until 1948 when he moved back to Hanna.  He was a businessman there with various ventures including trucking, Modern Auto Sales, the Modern Service Station, real estate, working for MacLeods, and his Hanna Variety Store.  During this time he married and his three children were born.  In 1969, the family moved to Winfield, BC and he was hired by White Star Construction, Marshal Wells, Woolworths and Vanguard before building 16 homes in Winfield.  He spent his life in service to the Lord in various church ministries as a member of the Alliance Church and the Gideon organization, as well as being a Kelowna Airport Ambassador for the last 10 years.  He entered the presence of his Saviour on June 2, 2011 after a brief illness.  He is lovingly remembered by his wife and partner of 58 years, Frieda; his children Rod & Lil Howery, Dorothy & Tim Goode, and Brendalee & Kevin Robinson; his grandchildren Jocelyn Howery, Josh & Jackie Goode, Amy & John Geistlinger, Casey Howery, Rylee Robinson and Grace Robinson;  his great-grandson Eli Geistlinger; his brothers Delbert & Evelyn Howery and Ron & Sheila Howery.  He was predeceased by his parents and his brother, Don Howery.  A memorial service will be held at the Lake Country Alliance Church on June 24th at 2 pm.  If desired, donations may be made to the Gideons or the Christian & Missionary Alliance Global Advance Fund in Harold’s name.  Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

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.
