Parsad Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Chuck Huggins, CEO of See's Candies, has passed away at the age of 87. I met and spoke to Chuck and his wife a few times in Omaha at Andy's party. He was as gracious and humble a person you will ever meet. He was always more than happy to engage any Berkshire shareholder and discuss See's and the chocolate industry. All the best to his family and everyone at See's! Cheers! http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/2012/08/chuck-huggins-obit-sees-buffett-munger.html?ana=yfcpc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
