March 24, 2008 - Passing of Nikolai Batushin. Eternal Memory!
We were very sad to learn yesterday of the passing of Nikolai (Ivanovich) Batushin. Husband to Jhenya (Ivanovna), father of long time Ruskoka Camp volunteers Henry and Nina, and grandfather to Ruskoka counselors Sasha, and Valya and Ruskoka campers Katyusha, and Misha. Always a dedicated volunteer worker, Nikolai was a very active participant in the Toronto Russian Orthodox Church community, helping to establish and build the parishes at Jackson’s Point and Toronto. He will be missed by many in our church community. Our deepest sympathies to his family, children and grandchildren. Tsarstvo Nebesnoye.
