    Words can’t express how shocked and deeply saddened we all were to hear of the passing of your beloved Dad, Malcolm. Malcolm was a “one in a million” gentleman and we all loved him very much.
    My Dad, Wilfred, and him, as you know, were lifelong friends and shared a very special, and close, bond together. Our Mom and Dad were very close friends with your beautiful Mom and Dad and went many places together in their earlier years.
    Cheryl and I could not have asked for better or more loving Godparents than our Uncle Malcolm and Auntie Flo. They danced all night at my wedding, and brought joy and happiness to everyone they met. They were, genuinely, the nicest and kindest, people we knew.
    We all remember the wonderful times we all shared together in Montreal, Knowlton, St. Lambert, Brockville and Iroquois. Those are the precious memories that we will hold dear, forever.
    Your Dad and Mom are irreplaceable, but we know that they are now happily, together again, in heaven. They were inseparable in life, and will be inseparable, again, for eternity.
    We want to extend our sincere condolences to the whole Marston and Heinrichs families at this very trying time. May God keep you close to his heart and may you all be surrounded in peace, love and comfort as you travel down this difficult road together. Please let us know if you need anything.

    With Love and Affection,
    Wil, Esther, Kathy and Cheryl Nye

    To the Marston Family:
    I was so very sad to hear that Malcolm had passed away. For over 20 years Malcolm and I worked together at Pine Acres Home. Every Monday the two of us would do Bingo. The funny thing is the two of us were never thrilled about Bingo in general. It was not our personal cup of tea, but we both gave our time to the seniors of Pine Acres and we had lots of fun leading Bingo.
    Malcolm also visited with the seniors on Mondays. He brought lots of smiles and joy to our lives at Pine Acres Home.
    Malcolm also shared his faith with us. It was evident that he loved God. I also got to know Florence. It was so sad when your Mom passed away, and your Dad painfully missed her. It was good to see a marriage built on God and love.
    Your Dad was also a encourager. Many times he encouraged me to keep going in God’s name, when things got tough at work. His kind words and encouragement meant the world. Sincerely, Peggy Toft, Activity Assistant, Pine Acres Home

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.
