Fred D. Derewenko passed away on September 9, 2020. He was born on August 22, 1941, to Fred and Marie (Lushenko) Derewenko.
An illuminating and all encompassing light has disappeared.
Life with Fred was never dull and full of surprises. He loved a good time. He often said,” I’ve had a better life than I ever dreamed possible. Do not be sad when my time comes.”
Fred is survived by wife Heather (Dailey), special friends Larry and JoAnn Krause, Arline and Keck Melby, beloved fishing and hunting buddies: Bob, Tim, Scott, and Orvis; sisters Tanya (Beverly) Laurer and Carol Dufka, cousin Judy (Lushenko) and Jack Warren, loving nieces and nephews, and many, many friends.
Fred hoped he would be remembered as a good person and good friend. That he was!
Special thanks to Dr. Terrill and the North Shore Hospital Nurses whom he dearly loved.
