With heavy hearts we announce the peaceful passing of Claudio Batista, on November 8th, 2024, with family by his side. Claudio was born in Sao Martinho, Funchal, Madeira, Portugal on July 19, 1926 and emigrated to Canada in 1954. He was a long-time employee of Nortel (Northern Telecom) working on, what was then, the height of technology. He was a proud member of the Telephone Pioneers of America, Maple Leaf-Metro Chapter No. 74. We fondly remember his love of warm climates and family trips to Victoria BC, Florida and Portugal. Claudio is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Rita, his daughters Elizabeth and Christine (Dennis) and treasured grandchildren Michael (Alessandra) and Jules (Hailey).
