BATIUK, Martin 92, formerly of Eaton Twp, died Thursday June 30, 2009, joining Verna his wife of 61 years. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio on January 10, 1917, but spent his formative years in Akron, Ohio.
He leaves behind two children; Tom with his wife Cathy and their son; Brian, and Mary Ellen with her life partner; Joyce Dean. He could not imagine a life without them. His family was enriched by many cousins, nieces, and nephews. Martin felt fortunate in having many friends who filled out his life. He is sad to leave them. He was a professional mechanical engineer. He spent his career primarily with the BF Goodrich Company, the first half in the Akron rubber plants and the second half in the company's chemical plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. Engineering turned out to be as interesting and challenging as he had hoped. During his work at Avon Lake, the family lived in Eaton Twp. in Lorain County. Martin had many interests; working, reading, writing letters, walking, tutoring in Project Read, singing in a church choir, gardening, bee-keeping, and mostly being with animals ranging from canaries, cats and dogs to horses in his tolerant neighbor's barn. In Dayton he volunteered at SICSA, a no-kill animal shelter. He gained notoriety there as the senior volunteer who came to nap with one of the cats in his charge.
Martin donated his body to the Wright State Medical School; his ashes will be interred at a later date next to Verna at the Butternut Ridge Cemetery in Eaton Twp., amongst his neighbors. The Bauer-Laubenthal-Mercado Funeral Home 38475 Chestnut Ridge Rd. (at State Rt. 57) Elyria, Ohio.
