'Mr. B made school the best': Alma community shares memories of teacher killed in crash

Parents at Alma Public School are remembering the life of teacher Robert Bachuk.

The 48-year-old died on Wednesday after his SUV collided with a school bus near the village of Alma.

He leaves behind a wife and two children.

Crystal Schnarr, whose five kids have all been Bachuk’s students at some point in their lives, said he is going to be deeply missed.

“I just couldn't believe it at first actually,” Schnarr said. “It's a big, big pair of shoes to have to fill and it's never going to be enough. And our kids are going to know that too.”
