We Remember

LARMAND, Leo Joseph

—

Leo went to be with the Lord on October 20, 2015 at the age of 92. Leo will always be cherished by his beloved wife Therese of 71 years and 8 children: Roger (Fran) of Duncan, Bert of Duncan, John (Shona) of Campbell River, Louise (Robin) of Williams Lake, Carol (Greg) of Kelowna, Diane (Bruce) of Kelowna, Marie (Rob) of Princeton, Daniel (Wendy) of Williams Lake; daughter-in-law Cathy; 20 grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren.  Leo was predeceased by all nine of his siblings and in 2009 by his 3rd son John.  Leo was born on October 21, 1922 in Zenon Park, SK to Joseph and Alexina Larmand.  Leo was the youngest of 10 children.  While growing up in Zenon Park, he met the love of his life, Therese.  In 1943, they married in Victoria, BC where Leo worked as a faller.  In 1966, Leo moved his family to Kelowna and shortly after began a career with Inland Natural Gas.  He retired in 1987 after 20 dedicated years of service.  Leo and Therese with their servant hearts, never hesitated to help family, church and community.  His joy in life was his family and serving God.  Leo was a quiet, kind and gentle man whose actions spoke louder than his words.  He was a role model to all who knew him.

A special thank you from the Larmand family to Dr. Bobyn for his faithful dedication that always went above and beyond our expectations and to all the staff and nurses at Spring Valley Care Home for all their kindness and loving care of our Dad. Prayers will be recited on Thursday, October 22nd at 5:30 pm at St. Theresa’s Catholic Church, 750 Rutland Road North, Kelowna, BC.  A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday, October 23rd at 10:30 am also at St. Theresa’s Catholic Church.  Interment will take place at the St. Theresa’s Catholic Cemetery.  Memorial donations may be made to the St. Vincent de Paul Society, c/o St. Theresa’s Church or the Alzheimer Society of BC, Suite 307-1664 Richter Street, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 8N3.  If you wish to send a condolence, post photos or share a memory, please scroll down the page to the area called “Share Your Condolences.”

    Mrs Larmand and Family,
    I had been looking for a friend, and came across Mr Larmands name. I am very saddened to hear of his passing as I know Dad ( Don Cameron) and I would have come to his service.
    Please know that we are thinking of you and sending prayers and love!!

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.
