Robert Bryan Schenck, age 59, passed away at Stratford General Hospital on February 16, 2020. He is survived by sisters Heather (Andy) and Melanie, nephew Max (Janaya), nieces Mollie Pell (Randy) and Isabella Daum. Bryan was predeceased by his parents, Bob and Cathy.
In November, Bryan was diagnosed with Kidney cancer, which had metastasized. He moved in with Heather and Andy and spent time reminiscing about his childhood on Normandy Drive and teen years on Water St., his years on the curling team and golf tournament parties at Innes Pond.
His first job was at the Ali Baba and then after high school, Bryan worked at the Canadian Legion and ANAF. For the past few years, Bryan and his friend Neal Ebel were the “keepers of the wreaths” for Remembrance Day services at the Cenotaph. They would primp, transport and lay wreaths, on the morning of November 11th.
Bryan looked forward to Sunday morning coffee with friend and cousin, Will (Jan) Schenck and Saturdays with Debbie Cutting. He appreciated all the meals and tasty treats that friends and Joyce Stubbings brought. A surprise visit from Chef Michelle Hundt, homemade lasagna in hand, made his day.
Bryan had some wishes. He was thrilled to watch the entire World Junior Hockey Championship; he tried lots of different Sushi and was fond of the eel, but sadly, never got to the Red Lion Room for a catfish supper…
The above photo was taken on February 7th ….. Bryan stated that he should have shaved years ago so he wanted you to see his new look! Sadly, on February 10th he was diagnosed with Influenza A.
Thank you to the Medical Floor nursing team, Dr.’s Langford, Thomas, Fernandez and ton. A special thanks to Pat Roesner and Cheryl Wood for their support.
Cremation will take place and Bryan will be buried with his parents in Greenwood Cemetery, Milverton, ON. There will be a private celebration service at a later date. Also, Bryan was adamant about donations to the Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Fund and may be made through the W.G. Young Funeral Home. 519.271.7411 www.wgyoungfuneralhome.com
