    My wife Anita and I were very sorry to hear of Dick’s passing. I taught with Dick at KLO School for several years and knew him to be a perfect gentleman and a genuine life-long learner. He was passionate and enthusiastic about “everything” and was always kind to students and staff alike. A terrible loss for all of us.

    Lanni,

    David and I send our deepest condolences to you and the family. We are so very sorry. Dick will be remembered as the neighbour who always stopped to talk and discuss a piece of news or event; always an interesting conversation.

    We would very much like to be a part of the Celebration of Life however we will be away.

    Sincerely, Karen and David

    My heart goes out to your family. I am so sad to hear of Mr. Weston’s passing. He was my band teacher at OKM Secondary and made a positive impact on my life. He was a wonderful man and I will always remember his kind smile.
    Sincerely, Tasia

    My sincere condolences. Dick or Richard as I used to call him went I first met him at Potters Addict, then many later at The Center for spiritual living as I sand in the choir which was lead by him. He was a very gentle, open and interesting man and always encouraging others to do well. I will miss him.

    I felt deep feelings of loss when I heard of Dick’s transition. I remember talking to Dick about what to say to a person that was getting ready to leave this plane and he said,”simply be present and that person will feel your energy and know that they are loved and not alone. Dick had answers for everything, answers that were insightful and brilliant. He was an inspiration to me and the song”Practicing the Presence” we sang in the choir has been gently flowing through my mind since his passing. Dick, you are truly missed butyou will never be forgotten.

    My sons and I were very sorry to hear that Dick has gone. He was an important part of educating both my boys when they attended OKM. His talent in music and thoughtful and supportive ways with pupils is something we often speak of. His impact on our lives will not soon be forgotten.

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.
