Jesus said “today you will be with me in paradise”
Passed away at LHSC- University Hospital as the sun rose on Easter Sunday morning, April 17, 2022, in his 81st year.
Cherished husband and best friend of Jan (Cromie) Denomme for over 30 years. Proud father of Rhonda and Rick Guzik, Connie Denomme, Terry and Patty Denomme, Jason and Lori-Anne Denomme, Alisa and Buddy Franck, Chad and Stephanie Culp, and Steven and Melinda Culp. Adored Papa and Grandpa of Elysia and Jason, Amanda and Jason, Joel, Taryn and Phillip, Colton, Makayla, Caiden, Jacob, Max, Nolan, and Atticus. Great Grandfather to Amaiah, Ava, and Koya. Beloved son-in-law of Joanne and the late Jim Truckle and Sandy Cromie. Dear brother and brother-in-law of Gail and Leo Debus, Les and Arlene Denomme, Dale and Steve Hart, Dean and Christine Truckle, MaryAnn Truckle, and Chris and Monique Truckle. Fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents Garfield and Florence (Denomme), sister Delores Stanton (Joe).
Greg had many talents and hobbies. He shared his love of railroads and trains with friends and family. Greg had a giant track at his home, hand laid and carefully thought always ensuring it was built to perfection. He held a deep passion for anything automotive, from drag racing; to building his own street rods; and an honorable nod to his many passions through his career choice as a mechanic. Eventually leading him to own Denomme Automotive, Greg’s truck business of over fifty years.
Greg and Jan enjoyed many rod runs around Canada and the United States. Often in the big yellow 1948 Chevy pick up or his fuchsia navy topped 1937 Chevy Cabriolet convertible. Greg was also an avid hockey fan who loved watching his children and grandchildren on the ice, or cozy at home under a blanket watching the Toronto Maple Leaf’s. Greg was also a talented woodworker; helping build the beloved home on the lake as well as many squirrel feeders, shelves, and odds and ends around his home. Above all, Greg’s strong faith in God and deep love for his family were always his top priority.

Many fond memories of visiting Greg at Denomme Automotive. Considered him a personal friend
as well as a business associate. Still have a couple of those caricature Train and Car Tshirts
that he gave me for my kids. They’ll be even more treasured now.
Very shocked to see his Obit. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
RIP Greg.
