My Deepest Sympathy goes out to The Urso Family , The Village of Melrose Park, & Everyone throughout the area that Mr.Urso was Known. The World has lost a Great Man. Mr Urso (PAPA) Left his Legacy in such a Strong & Undeniable way, Through, Family, Work, Civic Endeavors,& his long list of Friends & Associates.

As a Family Man Mr. Urso Provided us with a Strong Family In Which Every member Through there Careers & Personal life give back to Society on a daily Basis. There is not a Taker among them. As an Employer Mr. Urso put food on the table for countless employees throughout the years, as a Builder PaPa provided affordable housing in his community. His work ethic was the basis of Legends. If Mr. Urso seen something that needed to be done. He did it. Case in point about 8 years ago when Mr. Urso was about 78,I seen him painting a wrought fence on one of his properties in the middle of a heat wave, because he felt the contractor who installed it did an inadequate job & it needed to be done. Words that pop into my head when thinking of Mr Urso, are Tenacious, Wise, Visionary, Tough, Hardworking, Successful, Family Man, Kind, Civic Minded, Funny, Good Natured & Papa. So When Papa runs in to JFK in Heaven & Kennedy asks Papa what he did for his Country, PAPA Will have someone to talk to for a very long time. It is hard to think of many People that gave back more than Papa.
