Autorenporträt
Mike Andruff (1952-2023) was the author of self-published ten travel books. He was a first-generation Canadian and was in a unique position to observe his refugee father over the course of his lifetime, which provided the material for his memoir, The Russian Refugees. The solitude brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and the notion of writing a family history revealed to him the importance of the private sponsorship of refugees in Canada. After a long career in business, he retired with his wife, Claire, in Vancouver, BC. Mike passed away in December 2023 after a brief battle with cancer. Donations in his memory can be made to the Homeglen Legacy Fund at MOSAIC BC.
