Hello Umpire Family,
This is Brenton Baderdeen, the son of Greg Baderdeen. Reaching out to let everyone know that my father has passed away. He was a great umpire, coach, father and mentor. Thank you for being a partner and a friend to my father. We are having a celebration of life in late November at his house in Ontario. I will send out exact dates for those who would like to attend. My mom of course is taking this very hard.
In memory of Gregory A. Baderdeen, an amazing father, devoted husband, professional bowler, mentor, avid USC fan, baseball coach and the best umpire. Some of his favorite things to do in life were traveling, being a professional bowler, bowling 300’s, going to USC, Dodger and Rose Bowl games. He found the most joy in life when spending time with his grandkids and teaching his kids how to play sports. Gregory is survived by his children, Jennifer, Kevin, Brenton and Bethany. His beloved wife Yolanda. His grandkids Natalie, Noele, Christian, Hunter and Brayden. All proceeds will go directly to his wife Yolanda of over 40 years to help with arraignment expenses. Fight on!
Thank you umpire family. See you on the field. I will still be umpiring carrying on his legacy.
