Bryan Robert CZARNECKI

It is with great sadness that I announce Bryan's sudden passing. Bryan was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He had a 50-year career as a bass player and played all over Canada as well as in Europe. As one close friend quoted from his earlier start in the music business Bryan always said, "All I want to do is play music, because I love it..." pause, and then he smiles "and because I can't do anything else", and then he laughed that wonderful laugh of his. He will be sorely missed by his many musician friends and his relatives. Bryan is survived by his wife Hilda Czarnecki; brother Ed Czarnecki and his family; and his cousin Debbie Gara and husband John. I would like to thank the ALS Society for the wonderful services they have provided until Bryan's struggle ended. At Bryan's wishes, no Funeral Service will be held. Photos, memories and condolences may be shared with Bryan's family through www.evanjstrong.com. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the ALS Society (telephone: (403) 228-3857, website: www.alsab.ca). Arrangements in care of EVAN J. STRONG FUNERAL SERVICES. (403) 265-1199.
