I just heard about Greg's untimely passing. I was deeply saddened and also quite shocked. Greg was my supervisor at the US Census last year. He was a great boss and a fantastic person. He will be truly missed.
This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Greg Dobrenchuk, who was born on March 18, 1951 and passed away on December 21, 2010.
We will love, miss, and remember Greg forever.... We are grateful for the many cherished memories of him that we will always have, and we take comfort in knowing that Greg now rests in peace in God's Heavenly Kingdom.
Remember Me
To the Living, I am gone,
To the sorrowful, I will never return;
To the angry, I was cheated.
But to the happy, I am at peace.
To the faithful, I have never left.
Talk to me, and I will hear,
your prayers, they comfort me,
your laughter makes me laugh,
but don't weep for me as I have my reward,
I am with the Father and He will never let me perish,
The Lord comforts me, and longs to comfort you.
So be happy my family and don't despair,
I am in good hands, waiting for the day when
the Lord calls you to come home.

Happy Birthday, Greg! It was a beautiful spring day here, and you were in my thoughts and prayers all day. Tonight, I went and got pizza from our favorite place – was OK, but just not “right”. I feel your presence – I hope you hear my prayers.

We are deeply missing You, Greg….an integral part of each of us. There is a hole in each of our hearts. Each and every day, you are remembered...your chuckle, even heartier with mischief behind it...the love and generosity of your heart...your smiles of contentment and satisfaction for job(s) well done. You took pride in your work. You owned it. Creating-anything-was your passion.

To Greg's Family and Friends,
Greg will always be remembered for his thoughtfulness, kindness, and his cares for others. Never putting himself first. Alot of tears have fallen for such a wonderful man. I have dated him for about one year but some things are not meant to be. His guitar has given him peace when needed. Now he rest in peace. God Bless In Jesus Name...... Diane

I only dated Greg for such a short time so many years ago but will always remember his beautiful green eyes and winning smile. His sense of humor was truly a gift and he was passionate about his family, carpentry skills,baseball, and guitar. He will be greatly missed but is eternally embraced in Paradise by God and his loving parents. May he dwell in peace throughout his eternity.

Dear Greg, time is passing with each day. Today is yet another in my journey of sorrow. I hold on to the gratitude that we told each other that we were best friends and that we loved each other. I loved our friendship, our connection. I loved your sentimental side, your chuckle, and your kind heart. I have faith that you hear the prayers of all those you loved.
Love,
Brother Vance

Greg,I am very happy that I got to know you. Though I never had a chance to spend much time with you, I did enjoy that week that you spent with us before your moved to Florida. We didn't need to spend much time with you to know you were kind and sensitive, thank you for making us feel at ease.
I pray that you are now at peace in the arms of your Father.
I will remember you.

Dear Greg,
You will be pleased to know that your passion and skill for "cooking and carving" steak the correct way, has been now passed on and perfected by Ryan. And your talent and love for baseball is alive and well, in Ryan's sons. Brendan is 8 years old and already on an "All Star" team. And Aidan Gregory is already handling a bat and a ball with skill and coordination far beyond his tender age of 2 years old. I hope such info makes you Smile, all year, not just at Christmas! xox

So,
Greg came to visit me at my house in Virginia Beach, around 1994-95. I can't remember the exact year. He had a great time golfing at the course at NAS Oceana. Then, I needed some help with my 1987 Buick Regal "T" Type. The fuel tank had rusted through, was leaking, and needed to be replaced. I got a new one, we drained and un-bolted the old leaky one, and we were lying on our backs in the driveway trying to get the new one in place. Sometime during all that, Greg rolled over, and said "Look, here's a 4-leaved clover!" I couldn't believe it - I had never seen one before!
Sure enough, an actual, real-live, 4-leaved clover, growing in a clump of regular 3-leaved clovers! I don't know how he spotted it! Greg picked it, and placed it out flat between two small pieces of glass or plastic. I think I still have that here somewhere, now I have to go look for it!
Thanks for all your help, my Brother, and Happy Birthday to you!
Love, Dana
Batter Up
March 18, 2015
Dear Greg,
It’s baseball season again, and so I naturally think of you… I remember all the times playing catch, and all our batting practice sessions in our back yard in Wenham, using the plastic “whiffle balls”. Then, you turned it up a notch, and we started using the plastic golf balls instead! Faster, more movement, and harder to hit! But you knew it was good hit if it cleared the lilac bushes, and it went to Eaton Rd or Miss Johnson’s yard! You tried to teach me to pitch – curveballs, sinkers, knuckleballs – but I was never close to being as good as you were. But thanks for trying to coach me. And I remember as a kid going to all your games with Mom and Dad to watch you play… I’ll never forget that Grand-Slam homer you hit at Patton Park! That was awesome! If I remember correctly, that won the game, didn’t it? You were good, really good! And we enjoyed watching, as much as you enjoyed playing. “Batter Up!”
Love, Dana
