Buppie

John Uher passed away peacefully at Chatham Kent Health Alliance surrounded by family on Saturday, December 27, 2025, at the age of 85.

Beloved husband of 58 years to Linda (2020), Dad to Kathy, Janice & Scott Vandehogen, Susan & Peter VanMol. Buppie to Cora & Jordan, Jack, Clark and Cole Campbell, Rachael & Zach, Bo and Avery Shuian, Drew Vandehogen, Megan VanMol & Steven Trojanowski, Abby VanMol & Malcolm Mussa.

Son to the late Josef and Marie (Kocis) Uher. Predeceased by sister Mary Zlamal (Frank), and brother Joe Uher (Jean).

A lifelong resident of Blenheim, John grew up on the family farm and later enjoyed the open roads as a truck driver and small business operator. He loved to spend time with family and friends cheering on grandkids and most recently great grandkids at sporting and community events. An avid (and competitive!) card player, Buppie was always up for a round of five crowns at the cottage.

The original “MacGyver”, Dad could weld and fix anything and always had a roll of duct tape ready. Happy to share his wisdom and stories with the many great friends, and passengers in his life, he will be missed.

A Celebration of Life will be held upstairs at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 185 Blenheim, on Sunday, January 11, 2026, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm.

Donations in John’s memory to the Word of Life Food Bank, Blenheim would be greatly appreciated.

  • Sending my condolences to the Kathy, Janice, Susan and their respective families. As a teenager I spent a lot of time at their house and even lived there for a summer before moving back to Woodstock. John treated me like a 4th daughter. I will always remember his work ethic and how fun and kind he was. He will certainly be missed by many people in the Blenheim community. May he rest in peace.
    Sincerely
    Deb Masters
