Extremely sad to hear the passing of Charles Wang. I was very fortunate to be around a man as caring and determined as him. He was such a devoted owner and human being, always wanting the best no matter what. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

My heart is broken today. Charles Wang was truly the best. What he did for Long Island and the Islanders goes so unnoticed. His daughter Jasmine is one of my best friends and I can say for my family that we are so lucky to have had their friendship these past years.
