John Uhrick

September 20, 1937 – May 7, 2023

John Rhodes Uhrick September 20, 1937-May 7, 2023

John was born in Fort Wayne Indiana to Linley McGee Uhrick and Doris Rhodes Uhrick. John was a graduate of Hiram College in Hiram Ohio where he pursued and eventually won over his wife of 63 years, Judith Uhrick.

He was a loving husband and father, and while he did his best with his children, was often heard to say, "I'm shocked. Not surprised, but shocked." or "You have no couth!" or "Now get off my damn phone and let me rest!"

A naturally curious man, he knew or could solve anything, and was often referred to as "WikiDaddy."

In addition to his wife, he is survived by four children, Connie Harbby, (Barry) Amy Rivera, Colin Uhrick, (Rebekah) and Anthea Uhrick. He had four grandchildren, Jessica Uhrick-Reiger, John Rivera, Judith Rivera, and Rachel Miller. Three great grandchildren, Colin Garcia (Anna) Lillian Garcia, and Chloe Reiger.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Selma Civic Center, 300 N. Webb Street Selma NC, at 3 pm on Sunday May 21 at 3 pm. Colorful attire requested.

Good Luck with the Light Bill, Dad!
