I've known Chic for at least 60 years and first met him after WW 2 at the Easton YMCA. This was a time when the "set shot" was the norm, but Chic was already using the jump shot which is the norm for today. Later we played many games of Handball at the old Y downtown, then at the new Y. In all the years I've known Chic I never heard him utter a bad word about anyone. He was a true gentleman in every sense. He will be missed greatly by anyone who ever knew him.

I had to opportunity over the last 10 years to get to know Chick as a friend and as a co-worker with the ValleyDawgs and Wildcats of the USBL. He was a brilliant evaluator of talent and played a big part in the ValleyDawgs winning the USBL title in 2001. Most of all, Chick was a man's man and a gentleman. He was a great friend to my family. He will be missed by many, but we will never forget him and all the great stories he shared with us.

I had the great pleasure of playing in the Eastern League for Chick and knowing him as a friend. He had a great passion for the Game.I had a tremendous respect for Chick and we will miss him greatly.

I lived in Kingston, Pa on 2nd Ave, across the street from the Kingston Armory, 1944-49 where the Wilkes-Barre Barons played. I went to all the Barons games and remember Chick as a player/guard along with Cas Ostrowski, Steve & Billy Cheneka, Herkie Baltimore, and the coach White. They made up a great team. At the Easton Y Chick would always have me tell the members my story of seeing him play. He was a great guy. He will be missed.

We'll all miss Chick at the Y. He was a fixture there for years. Some of his basketball stories I know by heart. He may have told the same ones a few times over the years. He was one great guy.
