We Remember

LANGIN, Ferguson Robert

—

It is with sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Ferguson Robert (Bob) Langin on May 1, 2015, in Kelowna. Bob, the son of Clifford and Rita Langin, was born in 1928 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He is survived by his loving wife Geneva, his children Shaun (Sandra), Laurie (Brian), Greg (Nathalie), Geraldine (David), Grant (Laura), his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Bob also leaves his sister Marjorie Lindsay and brother Clifford (Jill), of Halifax and his cousin Margaret Mitchell (Ray). Sadly, Bob was predeceased by his first wife Isabella, son Bruce, brother Hugh and brother-in-law John Lindsay. A graduate of Dalhousie and Acadia Universities, Bob had a long and varied career in social work, community development and psychotherapy. His career took him from the Maritimes to the Canadian North and finally to Alberta before happily retiring with Geneva to his beloved “house on the hill” in West Kelowna. A memorial celebration will be held at Springfield Funeral Home in Kelowna on Friday, May 8, 2015 at 2 p.m. If desired, in lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the British Columbia Lung Association.

    My heart is heavy at the news of Uncle Bob’s passing. We loved him dearly and remember fondly his laughter at my, “Hi guys!” Prayers for everyone. Wish I was able to be there Friday but you will all be in my thoughts and prayers.
    Love, Christa (The Jeffreys’ Five)

    Oh the wonderful memories of laughter, adventures, good conversations, breaking of bread and coffee in Ponoka. We will miss you and our hearts are breaking but you will always be remembered with love.
    Our condolences to all your family and we pray with time your hearts will heal and you too can have peace. We celebrate the life of a wonderful man of the sea!

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.
