Charles J. Naudet, 85, passed away Thursday, January 12, 2017. Chuck was born on August 30, 1931, in Coffeyville, Kansas. In 1950, he graduated from Bishop Hogan High School, where he met his wife of sixty-two years, Mary Lou Pavela Naudet. He graduated from Rockhurst College and received his masters from Leslie College in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He served in the United States Army during the Korean War. In 1954, Chuck and Mary Lou were married and began their new life together in south Kansas City.
Chuck taught math and computer science at Truman High School, where he forever impacted the lives of his students. He was on the ground floor of computer science educationhe taught the subject before the Independence School district owned computer science books. He was also an active member of St. Catherines Parish. He participated in the choir, led rosary groups, taught religion classes, and coached the "Wee Warriors" grade school football team.

Chuck never met a stranger. Anyone who interacted with him, even for a short period of time, experienced his faith, humility, and his witty, wacky, and silly sense of humor! You never left him without a smile on your face! Heaven truly gained a saint.
