Mr. U was 87 when he passed away in November of this year. He leaves behind a legacy of hospitality, helping to navigate the changes in the tourism industry and our Pocono Mountains. He loved the Poconos \u2013 and based on the outpouring of love for him at a memorial service recently, the people of the Poconos loved him. He leaves behind family and friends who will carry on his tradition of promoting the Poconos.

The Poconos is a year-round destination for millions and with 24-hundred square miles of mountains, forests, lakes and rivers with historic downtowns and iconic family resorts, it\u2019s the perfect getaway for a weekend or an entire week.
