Max Warshauer, Director of Mathworks, said, “We will all miss Chuck so much. He was a wonderful friend, and inspiration to me and the kids. I loved the way that he combined math with drama, engaging students in doing mathematics in a fun way. One of my favorite songs ever was “United We Stand” from his lovely play Foxtails.”
