Greg Plochocki, 59, of Berlin, loving husband of Barbara (Halski) Plochocki, passed away unexpectedly but peacefully on Monday, Sept. 25, 2023 at home.

Born in Wroclaw, Poland, he was the son of Anna (Niechwiedowicz) Plochocki and the late Bogdan Plochocki. He immigrated to the US at 11 years old.

Greg was a resident of Berlin for the past 31 years and a member of St. Paul Church. He was a true renaissance man, with innumerous interests including cinema, fantasy novels, travel, technology, and medicine. He was an avid and accomplished tennis player. Even with all his interests, he prioritized his role as a husband and father. Greg was a genuine and kind person who saw the potential in people and strived to help them become the best version of themselves.

Greg is survived by two sons, Alex Plochocki M.D., of Essex Junction, VT and Anthony Plochocki of Williston, VT; a daughter, Ashley Plochocki of Berlin; and a brother, Robert Plochocki of Southington with his wife, Cindy, and their two sons.

This is a difficult passing to accept. My conversations with Uncle Greg were infrequent, but even so, he was a wonderful father figure in my life. I will miss hearing his background commentary when talking on the phone with my Aunt Barbara. He was truly an incredible, generous and kind human being. Sending all my love to the family.

I was so sad to hear of Greg's passing. Please accept my condolences. I had the good fortune to work with Greg for several years as he provided IT services to our firm. I always looked forward to our discussions about ice hockey, and the Boston Bruins with Greg. I will certainly miss him, but remember him fondly. He was a truly nice guy.

Greg was all the things stated in his beautifully written obituary, but--to a little white dog (and his owners in Bloomfield)--he was a whole lot more: Greg and his several groups played tennis at our house. Max, our dog, knows who brings "cookies" and recognizes them when they exit their cars. No one got a more enthusiastic "hello" than Greg because Max knew that he always had cookies for him (baked often--Greg would say proudly--by his daughter). The only creature, canine or human, who got more pleasure than Max getting the cookies, was Greg, who obviously loved dogs, a sure-fire test of character and decency. My wife, KK, and I send our condolences at your sudden and profound loss. There was no one more full of life--and appreciative of its gifts--than Greg. It was never "too hot or too cold" to play tennis....he reveled in the activity, the fellowship, and the commitment--always--to improve his already outstanding game. His was a life well-lived but ended far too short. He will be in our thoughts and missed by the dog and the people in this house.
