It is with great sadness that I have learned of the passing of my friend Chuck Kaufman . Chuck and his lovely wife Diane , were special people. Devoted as a couple to each other , more than any I know. Made my days at DeMatteis Center , always enjoyable to go to, to see their shining faces.. A great basketball player, an even better husband and father I will miss my friend Chuck .
