I was shocked to hear of Josh's passing. I knew Josh as my fraternity brother and fellow alum of Pitt Dental School. Our last conversation was a joyous one, as we toasted the Phillies World Series championship. I'll never forget the times we spent together in Pittsburgh. The world has lost a caring practitioner. Your family has lost a husband, father, and brother. I have lost a friend, brother, and colleague. My deepest sympathy to your family.

I'm sorry that I did not hear of Josh's passing until today. My children adored him and called him the gentle giant. He was like a big teddy bear, always smiling, offering assurance and allaying fears. I grew up being acquainted with the Uram family in Pittsburgh and was happy to reconnect with Josh on a professional level here in Elkins Park. My deepest sympathy to the family.

Dear Uram family,
I have you all in my thoughts and prayers. I am thankful to God for such a great person. I only met him twice, but Dr. Uram made my experience of my first surgery not just comforting, but I even had some fun. I remember his sense of humor when we discussed my options for the surgery. He told me the day of the surgery not to be scared and not to cry because however I 'went under' was how I would awake. If I was sad, I would wake up crying. If I were happy, I would wake up happy. And, he was right (of course) He made jokes for me and put my mind at ease and I awoke very happy- even dancing! All I wanted to do was thank this great doctor, and man. Dr. Uram stopped what he was doing to accept a big hug and thank you from me- this showed me the kind of person he truly was. He was kind, considerate, and caring, and had great humor. Some people are too great for our world- I am thankful I met him, even just for that brief time. God bless your family. Sincerely... Rachel

Josh was a wonderful oral surgeon. He took care of hundreds of my patients over the years. He was my "go-to guy" for my anxious teen patients. His warm "chairside manner" made every patient feel comfortable. I always got a kick out of the fact that he was one of the few people (besides my parents) who always called me "Stevie". Josh was a real pro, and my patients are going to miss his great care. My deepest regrets go out to his family.

I was deeply saddened by the premature passing of Josh. As the family knows, I went to Hillel with Josh and was always so fond of Josh and the entire Uram family. Josh was a gentle giant. Big and strong, but with a very warm heart.

He will be missed by all.

Dear Jan and Family,
There aren't words to express our sadness - for you and your sons, and for all who knew him - at losing Josh. His ability to get things done, his understanding of the right thing to do, and his consistently kind and sweet manner made him a unique and special person who inspired us all. May his memory be a blessing.

Dear Uram Family,

We at Albert Einstein Medical Center are truly saddened by the passing of Dr. Joshua Uram. Dr. Uram joined the dental department in 1989 after completing the oral and maxillofacial surgical residency program at Mt. Sinai hospital in Cleveland, Ohio. Dr. Uram was highly dedicated and committed to both serving the community as well as training our dental residents. He will be missed by many.

Dear Uram Family,
Words cannot express our deepest sympathy at the loss of Dr. Uram. He was my knight in surgical scrubs when I was terrified to undergo delicate and dangerous oral surgery. When he met my son, who was also to have oral surgery, he comforted my son,Josh, by calling him Ben, the QB for the Pittsburg Steelers because my son looks like him. They shared football stories and laughter. Dr Uram, again, became MY knight in surgical scrubs. Our family will always be blessed for having known Dr. Uram. The world has lost a wonderful doctor and human being but we,all, are better for having known him. What a wonderful legacy! May Jehovah comfort you in your time of sorrow.
Jim, Lisa and Joshua Griffith

To the Uram Family,
It is with deepest sympathy that I extend peace and comfort to you all through these trying times. Josh was a kind and gentle soul, both with me as a tricky surgical patient as well as a friend. I am so blessed to have known him and am honored that he became a part of my life. His boisterous laughter and jolly spirit lightened any serious mood or trying situation, and I can only hope that happy memories of Josh help see you through your darkest days.
With love and deepest sympathy,

My late husband & I went to school with Josh and Jon at Hillel Academy. We lost touch but your family was always thought of and missed in Pgh. I am so sorry for your loss. It is so sad when someone dies, but when someone dies young, it is so much more of a tragedy. I know, as I have been through it. My thoughts and prayers are with you for this difficult time in all of your lives.

Dearest Uram Family,
I was really saddened to hear the news about Josh. I haven't spoken to any of you for so long, but hearing about this and seeing your names in the notice really took me back to the "good ole days!" Life sure has gotten more complicated as we get older. Chaim has been gone for 19 years and my baby is 20. Just very hard to believe. May Hashem give you the strength to continue. With warmest regards, Stephanie (Sedaka, Reichenberg) Davis

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
