Sorry to hear this news. My deepest condolences to the Ursta family. I played basketball and baseball against George in the old Anthracite League. He was a great athlete and fierce competitor.With symphaty,

George spent many hours at the Freeland YMCA pitching or playing QB for all the kids that went to the "Y" after school.
He always kept the games lively and fun...and
made sure that everyone had a chance to play shared the ball with everyone.
He was a stand up guy....
