Terrence “Terry” Leon Uren

Brockport: December 10, 1936 – July 31, 2024. Terry passed away peacefully at the age of 87 with his family by his side. He is predeceased by his parents Lenore and William Uren, his first wife and mother of his children Trudy Uren and his brother David Uren. He is survived by his loving wife of 34 years Marie Dickson-Uren, his children Laura (Kevin) Drozynski, Lisa (Chris) VanDeMark and Greg Uren, his sister Marcia (Doug) DeGroote, sister-in-law Carol Hill, sister-in-law Jeanette Salem, brother-in-law Albert Dickson and brother-in-law John (Kandia) Dickson. He is also survived by his grandchildren Alyssa (Adam) LoVerde, Matthew Drozynski, Cameron VanDeMark, Joshua VanDeMark, Jacob Uren and Emily Uren. There is also a loving, extended family of in-laws in Sydney Australia who were very special to him.

Terry was born in Eveleth, MN where he was a stand-out student and basketball player in high school. He graduated from Michigan Technological University in 1958 with a Bachelor of Science in Mining Engineering. After college he joined US Gypsum company where he had a successful career spanning 30 years. Upon retirement, he and his wife Marie would spend half the year in Naperville, IL and half the year in Sydney Australia and as a result, Terry, an avid golfer, was able to golf every day of the year and he enjoyed that very much. He loved the game of golf and especially the camaraderie he had with his golfing buddies. He also loved his adopted home of Australia. The time he spent there with Marie and their family and dear friends was very special to him. He also took several family vacations with his children and grandchildren during his retirement years that included camping, hiking, hot air balloon rides, boating and rafting among other adventures. He loved his family very much and they will cherish these memories. Terry was a devoted Buffalo Bills fan for over 60 years (he BILLieved till the end) and a voracious reader whose favorite subject was history. His ability to recall stats, facts and analysis for sports and for history was remarkable. He will be very missed by his family and friends.

The family would like to extend their gratitude to the staff at Evergreen Assisted Living in Brockport for their kindness and compassion they showed Terry during the time he was a resident there.

There will be a private burial service for Terry at a future date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the MIchael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
