Greg Derderian, 72, of Boston, MA, peacefully passed away after a long battle with kidney failure at Mass General Hospital on June 23, 2024.
Greg was born in Boston to Peter and Valentine Derderian and spent his early years in the Watertown housing projects, later moving to Burlington, MA for the remainder of his childhood.

As an electrical engineer, Greg started his own consulting firm, Dipole Engineering, and worked on many government projects during his career. His last major accomplishment was the work he did on the James Webb telescope before falling ill.
Greg was a loving husband to Rhonda, father to Ann, Monica, Jeff and Caia, Grandfather to Ava and Gavin, brother to Armand and Rodney. He will be sorely missed by family and many friends.
