Vincent G.Uhlenkott, 98
Vincent G. Uhlenkott, 98, a longtime resident of Clarkston, Wash., died early Friday morning, Aug. 20, 2010, at the Clarkston Care Center, where he had resided since October 2009. Death was due to age-related causes.
He was born in Greencreek on June 28, 1912, to Henry and Louisa Wassmuth Uhlenkott and was the fifth of seven children. He did his early schooling in Greencreek through the third grade, at which time his mother died in February 1920. At that point, he began living with his uncle, Joseph Uhlenkott, in Cottonwood and finished his schooling there.
He married Claudine Pfiffner on Oct. 3, 1933, in Ferdinand, and together they had five children. They moved several times in their early years of marriage. His first employment was with the Gray Motor Company in Craigmont, and then in 1937, he found a position with John's Auto Wrecking and moved to Clarkston, where he spent the rest of his life. In 1946, he and his brother, Clem, purchased John's Auto Wrecking and he continued there until his retirement in 1980.
He was deeply involved with his church, Holy Family Catholic Parish, as well as with many civic activities. He spent years working with the Boy Scouts of America, received a 50-year continuous membership pin from the Moose Lodge, and was an honorary life member of the Knights of Columbus, which he joined in 1947. He was a proud and active Rotarian for many years. In 1953, he was elected to the Clarkston City Council and served as Clarkston's mayor from 1960 until 1966.
In retirement, he and his wife, Claudine, were active members of the Good Sams RV Club, and their club trips and gatherings were a highlight of their retirement. Recently, he spent time at the Pautler Senior Center several times per week, and valued both their meals and their activities.
He was always close to his family, and loved his home and his gardening. His ability to fix practically anything amazed everyone who knew him. He particularly enjoyed exploring all the back roads of the area, the Blue Mountains and his original Camas Prairie home area. He always looked forward to visits with his relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Claudine, in 2006; his brothers, Leo, Frank, Tony and Clem; his sisters, Gertie Hauth and Louise Prom; and one granddaughter, Terri Baker.
He is survived by his two daughters and three sons, Emagene Warren, OSB, Glen and wife Cynthia, Lloyd and wife Judy, and Mary and husband Richard Weeks, and Loren; 12 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-granddaughter.
His funeral was Tuesday, Aug. 24, at Holy Family Church. Interment was at the Ferdinand Cemetery later the same day.
For those who wish, memorials can be made to Holy Family School in Clarkston or to the Monastery of St. Gertrude in Cottonwood.
