They went on to have four beautiful children; Kenneth (Jean), Jane (Scott Volz), Linda and Thomas (Jaime). The two were blessed with five grandchildren; Jennifer, Tina, Michael, Amy, and Joseph, and have lived to see 7 great grandchildren so far.  Amongst the grieving hearts Mr. Uher leaves behind are also many friends and family from New York to New Mexico, and all places in between.
