Mr. Buniak was my grade 7 teacher in Mooretown and I also curled with him in Petrolia. I remember him as being very kind and always quick with a joke to make everyone laugh. Rest in peace.
Sending sincere condolences to the family..I worked with Wally at Johnston Memorial and he also taught one of my children. Wally was always upbeat friendly and genuinely cared about his students…always had a smile on his face❤️
Mr Buniak was an awesome teacher. I had him as a teacher at Mooretown School. Such a kind soul. We also met up in the last year or two and chatted for quite some time. My condolences go out to all of his friends and family. May you rest in peace Mr Buniak.
I met Wally at Wellings in Corunna. Very pleasant and jovial personality. We had spoken a few times in our native languages. Certainly will miss his witty persona. Rest in peace Wally
Mr Buniak was one of my favourite teachers! (Grade 7?)
Always fun and we learned a lot as well!
Mr Buniak was my grade 7 teacher at Mooretown school around 1970 . I really liked him. I would run into him through the years. RIP Mr. Buniak. I hope that you are still telling jokes.
Wally was a good friend of ours for many years. We played many games of Poker together along with more friends. We drifted apart and didn’t see him for the last few years. He liked to joke around and be the center of attention. Our deepest condolences to his family. Rest in eternal peace our friend.
