Thanks, from link..
''He is a resident of the Grande Regency, a luxury high-rise condominium that overlooks Burlington’s downtown.''

“I didn’t even know he had a boat. He’s a happy-go-lucky guy, always very pleasant.”

No one the Post talked to at a small commercial strip plaza a short walking distance from Batusic’s condo said they recognized a photo of him.

The Commodore of the Fifty Point Yacht Club in Stoney Creek told the Post he had passing contact with Batusic. He last saw him less than a week before his disappearance, over the Labour Day weekend.

“I first met Ivan in 2013 when he came to our dock. However, he did not join Fifty Point Yacht Club until this year and he moved to a different dock when a vacancy occurred to be closer to friends,” Brian Weber said in an email.

“From my brief dealing with Ivan, he always appeared happy and would always give me a wave as we strolled by his boat. He enjoyed his family and friends at the marina and he had a true love for the water.”
