McMillan, Robert Alexander

 It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our husband, father, grandfather and best friend Robert (Bob) Alexander McMillan on June 26th, 2011 at the age of 75.  Bob was born June 2nd 1936 in Regina Saskatchewan.  He is survived by his wife Joanne, the love of his life and soul mate of 54 years and their three children; Cathy (Rick) Roy and grandchildren Ryan, Christine, Michelle and Melissa; John (Charlene) McMillan and grandson Luke; and Brian (Cheryl) McMillan and grandsons David and Devon; brother Wally (Bev) McMillan of Regina and sister Eileen Rogers of Calgary.  Bob was predeceased by his parents Walter and Jean McMillan both of Regina and his sister Isabelle Dorrett of Kelowna.  Bob was caring, fun loving, thoughtful, generous and loved to spend time with family and friends.  He loved his family deeply and was loved equally by them.  Family times were treasured by Bob as was every game of golf with wife Joanne and their friends.  Bob was a very special person that meant so much to each family member.

A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Michael Bobyn and his staff for all of the special care, compassion and kindness during Bob’s battle with cancer.  To the wonderful staff at the Central Okanagan Hospice House we thank you and salute you for the kind caring manner in which you took care of Bob.  Also a special thanks to the staff at the C.A.T.

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.
