Donald Rogers Uhle

Of Arlington Heights

Donald Uhle was born on May 28, 1929 in Chicago, Illinois to Kurt and Elsie (nee Reuter) Uhle. He died Tuesday, December 3, 2019 at his home surrounded by his loving family.

Mr. Uhle worked as a specialty meat salesman for Weisel & Co until the 1980s and later for Klement’s Sausage Company until his retirement. He proudly served in the US Army in the Korean War until his honorable discharge.

In his earlier years, he spent much of his time coaching little league baseball mentoring young people and turned the love of the game into officiating. He became an IHSA umpire and basketball referee for many years. He was an avid golfer, enjoyed travelling to Europe and spent many spring seasons in Florida. Most of all, his passion was spending time with his family.
