Richard Uhl Obituary
1939 ~ 2019
Richard Sherman Uhl was born June 28, 1939 in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania to Gordon L Uhl And Katharine Jones Uhl. He grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and attended secondary school at Admiral Farragut Academy in Saint Petersburg, Florida. He then joined the Navy and served four years aboard the USS Independence. After being discharged from the Navy Richard Attended Palmer College of Chiropractic where he later returned as a professor. He moved to Rapid City, South Dakota after marrying Margaret Lee Bowser. Into this union was born Dawn, Erin and Heather. They were later divorced. He joined the LDS church in 1968 and moved to Utah. He married Colleen Anne Crouch in the Logan Temple on July 21, 1972. Together they had five children- Matthew, Melissa (Kim Heninger), Rich (Amy Leishman), Tim, and Joseph (deceased).
Richard practiced Chiropractic in Bountiful and in West Valley, Utah.
Richard was known for his love of people and friendly nature. He had a good heart and cared about other people often going out of his way to provide some small act of service. Richard loved missionary work and served several stake missions. He shared the gospel with as many people as he could.
He is survived by Colleen and his children and 15 grandchildren. We would like to thank Hospice, Welcome Home Assisted Living, and Heart Felt Home for their love and care for him during the past three years.

I knew Brother Uhl in Rapid City, S D in 1968. He had just joined the church and was so enthusiastic. My husband, Brian was his home teaching companion so they spent a lot of time together. After the divorce, he spent a lot of time at our house. He also rented the upstairs in his home to some of our best friends so we had lots of connection with him.
Our daughter had a health issue when she only several months old and he was generous enough to give her some treatments that solved the problem. The last time we saw him was sad. My husband was going to Viet Nam so we were moving back to Oregon. He stood in the middle of our empty house with tears. I shall never forget that picture. He was so thoughtful and compassionate to people. Above all, he loved the gospel of Jesus Christ. He was a great example of carrying on when life was full of obstacles. Perhaps he and Brian will meet soon and they can talk over old times.
Thank you so much for posting so many pictures. I enjoyed them.

Richard was such a kind and gentle man. He was in our ward in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He had a beautiful family with children the near the same ages as ours, so we were able to watch them grow up together. We were happy to have him in our life. Our condolences to the family.
