    • Soldier was 'a real Kitchener guy'
      Robert Dynerowicz remembered by friends and family


      KITCHENER Robert Dynerowicz loved to unleash a big, toothy grin.

      "Huge smile," said Greg Bignell, his uncle. "From when he was a baby, all the way up, he had just the biggest smile."

      During his 34 years, that trademark grin often stretched happily on the Kitchener-raised soldier who died Tuesday after a single-vehicle crash during a military training exercise in Alberta.

      "The first thing you would notice about Bobby was his smile."

      His family - parents Danny and Debbie, sister Jenny - always called him Bobby. His pals around town, his comrades with the Royal Canadian Dragoons, called him Dino. Sgt. Dynerowicz was also known for his big heart and big hugs, friends say.

      "Bobby was fearless when it came to helping others," Bignell said.....

      Dynerowicz spent a dozen years in the military, including two tours in Afghanistan. He was a humble hero, the family says, always willing to lend a hand without worrying about reward. That's why he chose a military life......

      On Thursday, his family and girlfriend Moronike weren't focusing on the military investigation into the crash that killed Dynerowicz and injured three others.

      "Not right now. It's time to come together and help his mom and dad and everybody, his sister, get through it. Just try to be there for them."

      The news of his tragic death was devastating to his family. His body was expected to return home to Kitchener on Friday. Funeral plans were not set by Thursday afternoon.

      A Kitchener man killed while in Alberta for a military training exercise is being remembered for his big heart and his big laugh.

      Sgt. Robert J. Dynerowicz died in hospital Tuesday. Military officials say he was commanding a light-armoured vehicle known as a LAV III when it rolled over, killing Dynerowicz and injuring three other soldiers.

      "At this time, we don't understand fully what occurred," Col. Conrad Mialkowski said Wednesday at a media conference. Dynerowicz is part of the 2 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group, which operates out of CFB Petawawa.

      The group has been at CFB Wainwright in Alberta since early April for a training exercise.

      Mialkowski, the group's commander, said Dynerowicz's LAV III was the only vehicle involved in the crash. It was being followed by a second armoured vehicle......
