John R. Uhrman Sr., 92, of Oregon, Ohio, passed away on Thursday, October 16, 2025, at Bay Park Hospital. He was born in Toledo, Ohio, on September 3, 1933, to Charles and Hulda (Zingg) Uhrman. John Graduated from MaComber High School in 1951, and went to work for Dohler Jarvis as a tool and dye maker, retiring in 1991 as a Chief Engineer after 41 years of service. He married the love of his life, Shirley (Olejniczak), on May 2, 1953. He was a member of Holy Rosary church until its closing, and was currently a member at St. Ignatius. John enjoyed wintering in Ft. Meyers Florida with his wife, remodeling his rental properties, but most importantly, spending time with his loving family.
Left to cherish his memory is his wife of 72 years, Shirley; son, John (Fran) Uhrman Jr.; daughter, Patricia Gordon; grandchildren, Lauren Uhrman and Sam Gordon. He was preceded in death by his parents; son-in-law, Clarence "Clancy" Gordon; and 5 siblings.
Family and friends may visit Eggleston Meinert & Pavley Funeral Home, Oregon Chapel, 440 S. Coy Rd., Oregon, Ohio, on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. until the time of services at 1:00 p.m. Interment will follow in St. Ignatius Cemetery.
To My Husband: You were braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you thought. You were Loved more than you know. If I could have given you one more thing in Life, it would have been the ability to see yourself through my eyes, only then would you have realized how special you were to me. You were My Everything, You were My Gift from God, and my Soul Mate!

My heart breaks for you, Aunt Shirley. To have spent so many years together, the grief must be all-encompassing. Our condolences to Patty, John, Fran, Sam & Lauren, too. I am sorry we cannot attend as we have serious medical commitments the beginning of this week that cannot be altered. I am sure Uncle Johnny and Dad are catching up and happy to see each other, again. Dad loved him beyond words to convey how he felt. I will never forget walking into Dad´s hospital room to see your John and Uncle Johnny caring for Dad. The love was obvious. Will be thinking of you as you navigate life ahead.
We are making a $50 donation in Uncle Johnny´s name to a local Rescue here in South Carolina towards vet bills for 4 rescued puppies and their mother who were bred to be bait dogs in illegal, horrible dog fighting rings in SC. The poor mother dog already had her teeth filed down, so she was unable to defend herself. I think Uncle Johnny and Dad will smile to see these pups and their mom find loving homes.Much love, Joani & Gary Z
