He enjoyed golf, bowling, and following all the New England professional sports teams. He particularly loved attending his grandchildren's sporting events.

He was a communicant of Sacred Heart Church in Springfield.  He leaves his wife of fifty-nine years, Patricia (Pohner) Uschmann, a son and his wife, Shawn and Shannon Uschmann of Palmer, Alaska, a daughter and her husband, Susan and Richard Malinoski of West Springfield, two brothers, Robert and his wife Linda Uschmann of Feeding Hills, David Uschmann of West Springfield, five grandchildren, the lights of his life, Patrick Malinoski, Emma Uschmann, Paul Malinoski, Catherine Uschmann, Sarah Uschmann, and nieces and nephews.
