REV. FR. TIMOTHY BUYANSKY OSB

Father Tim will always be my favorite Priest. I first met him at St. Paul in Euclid. He joined St. John of the Cross in Euclid when St. Paul and St Felicitas were combined. I celebrated with him when he had his 50th anniversary as a Monk. It was a very nice celebration for him at St. John of the Cross Parish.

It's been 6 months, and it still seems surreal that you are no longer with us. We miss you so much. There were still conversations to be had. I know you are pain free with our savior, and that's the only way to keep moving forward. I cannot imagine how at peace and awe you, Aunt Joan, and River are. I'm jealous in a way. But God said well done my good and faithful servant. You are now in your true home. And we are still here for a reason. God is still calling us to His purpose. So...

We not only are saddened with the loss of Father Tim but happily remembering those treasured times at Chippewa Lake . We would alternate between Buyansky's and Zemans cottages. Water skiing and swimming was our summer pastime. Those were the "good old days". Always in our hearts, rest in peace. Love Dave & Kathy Buyansky, Kathy & Kurt Hader, Kevin & Heidi Wilson, Jason & Dee Dee Buyansky, Brent & Becca Buyansky

A very sad day indeed. Fr. Tim was the best of teaching, guidance and wisdom. A great Drama Club teacher that will be missed. I've known Fr. Tim since 1975. He lives with me every day as my moral compass. He taught me passion, responsibility and respect for all. He married my spouse and I back in 1993 at the new Abbey Church and his signature is on our framed marriage certificate in our bedroom. I can even remember when he ran the BHS Club and took us to Peek n Peak in NY on a field trip....

Please accept our deepest condolences. We watched his funeral mass...it was beautiful. We never knew he had such good dance moves! Love, Denise and Doug Zeman

As the librarian at Regina High School, I always enjoyed the library meetings Fr. Tim and I would attend together. He loved his job as a school librarian and was always upbeat and fun to be with. I looked forward to receiving my Christmas card from him. I will miss him..

Many fond memories of Fr. Tim and the Benedictine Drama Club! He was an extraordinary man and mentor with a wicked sense of humor.
“All good gifts around us, are sent from heaven above. So thank the Lord for all his love.”
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

I have such great memories of Fr. Timothy. I will miss him dearly. May he be at rest with eternal peace. My condolences to everyone in the Benedictine Community and Fr. Tim's extended family.
