Mark Schultz - now with obituary

If you have been to play or watch ball in Elkland, PA in the past decade or so, you know Mark Schultz even if you didn't know his name.

"Schultzie" was mainstay at the ballpark, wearing one of his many football shirts. You could hear him across the main diamond as he alternatively cheered and jeered the action on the field.

He was definitely loud and could sometimes be obnoxious. He was usually funny and was always creative.  A selection of classics include:

"WHO PUT THE CREAM IN THE COFFEE!"

"GET YOUR PANTS DIRTY!"

"WE GOT ALL KINDS OF GATORADE! ALL KINDS OF FLAVORS!"

"THAT ONE IS DOWNTOWN, WHERE THE LIGHTS ARE BRIGHTER!"

"TUNE UP THE BAND!"

Here is an audio example of Schultzie in action.

Here are some well-written words that Lorna Sherman posted on Facebook:

The moment Mark Schultz walked in, the atmosphere changed. He was a magnet, drawing everyone closer. At every tournament, his cheering was the soundtrack. It rang out above the music, the chatter, everything. People gravitated towards it, wanting to be part of the fun. He was a reminder that joy can be found anywhere, anytime. That's the gift he left us.

Schultzie was never quiet at the ball diamond, but he is silent now as he died on Friday. 

He will be missed.

He was also actively involved with the Eastern Ontario Umpires Assocation in an administrative capacity and umpired and assigned games for the GOFL for many seasons.

George is now "officially" retired and was recognized pre- and post-game on Wednesday. Below are photos of George with the teams (Micksburg Twins and Quyon Flyers) and with his fellow umpires from EOUA who attended the event.
