Over the years, Chuck made lasting
friendships with players and coaches as
well as another sector -- the officials. On
more than on one occasion during the start
of a football game, an official would ask,
“Where’s Chuck? He’s the only one we’ll
authorize getting us the ball.” Of course
when an official made a bad call or a call
that went against the Eagles, Chuck would
let them know in no uncertain terms how
they fouled up.
Another local legend that Chuck worked
with was head basketball coach Rick Sabosky.
In 1987, with Chuck solidly entrenched as
an Eagle helping out with the football and
baseball programs, Coach Stevenson asked
Coach Sabosky if he could use Chuck on
game days to help out. Sabosky jumped at
the idea because he knew all that Chuck
had done so far.
Sabosky said Chuck was at his side during
games for over 25 years. “Chuck got so nervous
and excited during games and oftentimes
screaming at players or referees louder than
me during the excitement of a close game,”
Sabosky said. He also remembered often
hearing Chuck have a running conversation
with himself that might go something like
this: “That’s a foul! Oh geez, don’t shoot
that. Can we get a call? Pass the ball, please.”
Sabosky shared that the players loved Chuck
and respected him as if he were another coach.
On one occasion, Chuck had had enough of
the team’s antics. He was pressed into driving
one of the vans to transport seven players
to a game. If you knew Chuck, he was a
perfectionist and a little nervous at driving.
The players were being loud and Chuck got
more and more frustrated as the players got
so loud that it reached a fever pitch. Finally
with one scream from a player, Chuck almost
lost control of the van. He nearly flipped the
vehicle and pulled to the side of the road. All
he needed to do was turn around and stare
at the mischievous players. The players felt
the nerves and tension and behaved quietly
the rest of the trip to the game.
What was a common theme with each
coach and player interviewed was Chuck’s
love for older movies and museums. He
would entertain players and coaches with
his brilliant knowledge of films, older movie
stars and museums. He would recite lines
from different movies from long ago and
say how much better and wonderful the
older ones were.
Players from over the years expressed their
sorrow. Nigel Nootbaar was especially affected
by Chuck’s loss. “I knew who Chuck was
long before he knew who I was,” he said. “I
remember going to varsity baseball games as
a kid and he was at every single game I went
to. He seemed to be everywhere -- grabbing
bats, bringing balls to the umpire, talking to
guys in the dugout. When I finally got my
chance to play on the varsity team, I got to
meet Chuck. It was at that moment that I knew
he was a special person. I was intimidated to
be playing for Coach Stevenson, but Chuck
made that transition easy for me because of
how nice of a guy he was. He always found
a way to lighten up the mood with a subtle
joke, a new nickname, or a smile.”
One memory that stood out for Nootbaar
was remembering when Chuck told him that
he had a “Hoover Pocket.” Nootbaar said,
“It meant that one of my back pockets was
sticking out. To this day, and for the rest of
my life, I will use that phrase. I’ll never forget
what he meant to me, my family and the El
Segundo community. Chuck will always have
a place in my heart.”
Another former player and current head
baseball coach Billy Traber remembers Chuck
as a player. “Chuck was just so valuable
to the team and we all respected him,” he
said. “He was a homer and always had the
coaches’ backs when they were challenging
an umpire’s call whether they were right
or wrong.” Traber also echoed what others
said, referring to Chuck’s love of movies.
“He would be surprised if we hadn’t seen a
particular movie.”
Chuck was close to all the players over
the years and gave out many nicknames.
Mike Bundy’s nickname was Boss. The
former standout Eagle quarterback and third
baseman was saddened to hear that Chuck
had passed away. Bundy’s favorite memory
wasn’t a specific moment, but overall how
Chuck treated others. “Chuck had a genuine
kindness that oozed out all of the time,”
Bundy said. “He always had a nickname for
everyone…and no matter the circumstance,
he would make it a point to say hello to all
of us and our parents.”
Chuck was so much an Eagle. He enjoyed
seeing the team succeed and felt the players’
sorrow in defeat. The Eagles were playing in
the 1999 CIF championship baseball game at
Anaheim Stadium and lost a heartbreaker in
the final inning. While the team was having
a meeting in short right field, Chuck was
in the dugout cleaning up the bats, helmets
and baseballs. When I approached him to
ask if I could help, I could see he had tears
in his eyes. When I asked what was wrong,
his response was, “I’m not sad we lost. I’m
devastated for the team.” That was Chuck
always thinking of others.
Charles Dickens once wrote, “No one is
useless in this world who lightens the burden
of another.”
That defines our friend Chuck. No matter
the task at hand, he was always there to help
and lighten the burden of the coaches and
players. Now he’s helping another team and
smiling down upon us and thinking of a way
he could make it rain. Yes, that’s Chuck still
thinking of others…
