We Remember

QUINLAN, Harold Francis

—

Harold Quinlan passed away with his family at his side on Saturday May 21 at the age of 94. He was predeceased by his loving wife Jean of 63 years in 2010.  He is survived by his daughter Colleen of Kelowna and grandson Ryan (Kathryn) of Edmonton.  He is also survived by his brother Leo (Geane), sisters-in-law Cecile (Bill), Evelyn and Doris, as well as numerous nieces and nephews who lovingly referred to him as Uncle Harold.

 

Harold was born in Nemiscam Alberta to Thomas and Agnes Quinlan. Harold enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force during WWII and served his country in the European theater until the end of the war in 1945.  He returned to his home town of Pincher Creek Alberta where he married his life-long partner Jean in 1947.  Harold moved his family to Kelowna in 1974, and worked for many years before retiring to help raise his Grandson and act as the father figure in his life.  ‘Pop’ was a loving Husband, Father, Grandfather, Brother, Uncle and friend.  He will be missed, but never forgotten, by those whose lives he touched.

 

The family would like to extend their gratitude to Veterans Affairs Canada who never wavered in their support of Harold. Special thanks to the members of IH Community Care who assisted Harold in his tasks at home and took exceptional care of him every day.  Also special thanks to the office of Dr. Cosman and Dr. Stone for their ongoing care.

 

A private family service will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to a charity of your choice. 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.”

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.
