Peter Uhlein Obituary
Rochester - Passed away peacefully on March 29th, after a long, courageous battle with lung cancer. He was a fighter until the end. Through the highs and lows, Peter never complained; always up for an intimate gathering of friends & family. He especially loved his pool time and gardens.
Peter was blessed with access to unbelievable care. A new trial could provide another six months. A year become two, two years became four. We are especially proud of his contribution to trial research, being just the second person to enroll in his most recent treatment.
Peter was born in Watertown, October of 1965. He is the son of the late John and Sally Uhlein. He graduated from Berkshire School and went on to earn his Bachelors at Hobart and William Smith Colleges and his MBA at St. John Fisher. Peter grew up in a loving house, filled with five siblings, and many aunts, uncles, cousins and family friends.
Peter is survived by his husband, Jon Schick; sons, Christopher and Alexander; his favorite nap mates, Duke and Sol; brothers, Jay (Watertown) and Jeffrey (Colorado); sisters, Kathy Killary (Tennessee) and Kristin Uhlein Tufo (Florida); mother-in-law, Nancy Schick. He is predeceased by his brother, John
