A memorial service was held at the First Presbyterian Church in Grinnell. Elliott Lee Uhlenhopp was the son of Harvey and Elizabeth Christine Elliott Uhlenhopp. He grew up in Hampton, Iowa. He was always a good student, going so far as teaching himself to type one summer. He was a well-rounded young man, playing trumpet in the school band, and running on the track team. He graduated from Hampton High School in 1961. He received his Bachelor of Science Degree from Carleton College. During his time at Carleton, he traveled abroad to India, a trip that instilled in him a lifelong love of traveling, and a lasting curiosity about the values and outlooks of different cultures. He went on to earn his PHD in Biochemistry from Columbia University in New York City. He was married to Fran Gragg in 1967. They had a son, Andrew and a daughter, Amy. Fran and Elliott parted ways in 1988. He did post-doctorate work at the University of California San Diego, before moving to Walla Walla, Washington, where he became an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Whitman College. In 1977, he accepted a teaching position at Grinnell College, where he became a tenured Professor of Chemistry, and a highly respected faculty member. He retired in 1997. In 2008, the status of Professor Emeritus of Chemistry was bestowed upon him. He married Gayle Light in 2007 and they continued to live in Grinnell. They shared an enthusiasm for nature, traveling, and many other pursuits and interests too numerous to mention. He loved Iowa and was very glad to spend his life here with his beloved wife Gayle. Elliott enjoyed nature, science, traveling anywhere he could think of, the arts, and his family, including all the dogs he had over the years. He remained active in the Grinnell College community. He valued education throughout his entire life, and always continued learning about various topics as diverse as politics and weather patterns He was a long-time member of First Presbyterian Church in Grinnell, where he sang in the choir, and over the years provided many a Christmas tree from his own farm. His legacy will live on at The Uhlenhopp Arboretum in Jasper County, Iowa, which will be a place for anyone to witness Elliott's fulfilled desire to leave the Earth a better place than he found it. "The most important thing you leave is not family valuables, but family values. Love life. Be honest. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I can't think of any others more important than these."—Elliott Uhlenhopp
