V. Rev. Protopriest Victor Sokolov fell asleep in the Lord at home during the night of March 12, 2006, after a long bout with small-cell lung cancer, a bout the length of which astonished his doctors and everyone else. He stayed at his post as the Dean and Rector of the Holy Trinity Cathedral, San Francisco, until the last, doing everything that he had done before he had been struck with the cancer until the end; reading/studying, writing, archiving, teaching, and enlivening all with whom he came in contact with his Faith, Love, and Hope.
