    I am so very sorry Lorraine and Kelly for your loss. Dale has been a client of mine for a few years now. This news is so shocking and I’m quite taken back as to his sudden passing; it wasn’t that long ago he walked in the Barbershop. Our conversations were always so valuable to me. The closeness of his family were so important to him, and he would always be such a wealth of knowledge on places to travel. I will donate in Dale’s memory. I am so very sorry.

    To Lorraine and Family,

    I received the new last Friday of Dale’s passing and was deeply saddened by it. Dale was my boss, supervisor, and friend. Dale always took the time to share his knowledge and insight, and to provide direction when needed. He always looked out for others, and had a high sense of integrity not only in his words, but in his actions. It has been several years since I have had the availability of Dale’s guidance…but a few weeks ago…I kept thinking…”what would Dale have done in this situation”.

    Dale’s character and principles were never compromised and he was always there to back you in a difficult situation.

    Even though we did not get an opportunity to meet. He spoke often of his wife Lorraine, his daughter, and his golden retriever. They were all priorities in his life.

    Dale will be missed.

    Dale was a good friend for many years. After several failed attempts to reach Dale by email we discovered his passing.
    Dale was a great man with a wicked sense of humour and was a wonderful friend. I particularily enjoyed our business travel together.
    You are missed my friend.

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.
