Here is part of the article:

The late Chuck Mather has departed, but his presence was still felt at the first Touchdown Club meeting of the season on Tuesday afternoon at the Amvets.

The former Tiger coach passed away on May 29 in Chicago. His memory was recognized at the beginning of the meeting by a brief video tribute, which featured a variety of clips and interviews with the legendary coach.

“He was a special person,” Massillon coach Tom Stacy said. “I’m glad we were able to pay tribute to him. He called me several times during the season; several times during the offseason, and not only was he a special football coach, but he was a special person. We became pretty close. Not necessarily personally, face-to-face, but on the phone.”

Yes "great" sums him up as a person and a coach. No matter where he went or what he was involved with he always took time to speak about and praise Massillon. I knew he was at the first McKinley game last year and was disappointed that a victory couldn't be delivered. I didn't know he talked to Coach Stacy after the playoff win over them. I'm sure last season made him very proud.
