Gregory “Greg” Sanda. Beloved husband of Denise (nee DiMaggio). Devoted father of Jessica (Will) Terrill and Tyler Sanda. Loving son of Maurice and Sandra. Dear brother of Jason (Sharon) Sanda. Cherished “Pop” to Alaina. Fond brother-in-law of Nick DiMaggio, Linda Jordan, Sandy (Joe) DiNatale. Adored uncle of Connor, Kaylee, Ally, Stephanie, Alex, Kaitie and Sophia. Greg was the heart and soul of any gathering—outgoing, fun-loving, and always the life of the party. His booming voice and infectious laughter could fill a room, while his impatience was balanced by a deep sense of care for those he loved. A true family man, Greg cherished every moment spent with his loved ones. Greg’s love for Denise was unwavering; they were partners in every sense, sharing countless adventures, quiet moments, and the joys of life together. He was a proud father, deeply devoted to Jessica and Tyler, always ready with advice, encouragement, and a listening ear. His family was his pride and joy, and he found his greatest happiness in their love and laughter. Greg was also a loving son to Maurice and Sandra, and a caring brother to Jay. His bond with his family was strong, rooted in a lifetime of shared memories, love and support. In the Sanda household, there was one rule Greg enforced with a smile: no baking after 7 pm. When the music played, Greg transformed into the “dancing queen,” bringing joy and energy to everyone around him. He had a deep love for his 1957 Bel Air and enjoyed going to car shows, where he could share his passion with others. Greg’s hands were rarely idle, often busy with woodworking projects or exploring farmers markets, always on the lookout for something special. Greg’s presence was larger than life, and his memory will forever be a source of warmth, laughter, and love for all who knew him. His legacy lives on in the hearts of Denise, Jessica, and Tyler, who will always carry his spirit with them.

My sincere condolences to the Sanda family for your loss. Greg was always larger than life. I was so glad to reconnect with him a couple of years ago. My thoughts and prayers are with Denise and her family. Greg will always be with you.

I’ve known Greg for about 20 years, maybe longer and he’s always been a great friend. He made small magnets for our wedding for our guest favors and asked for nothing in return. I’ll always remember his love for his family, his friends, and fast cars.

We met Greg (Uncle Greg) and Denise at the Huntley farmers markets. The connection that my son had with Greg was amazing. We became instant friends. Sharing in our conspiracy theories to just laughing together. He truly was an amazing human. Thankful for the friendship but saddened by his loss.
