Hundreds of his players, friends, and associates will pay tribute to former Rancho High School football coach Charles (Chuck) Razmic today at 10 a.m. funeral services at St. Christopher's Catholic Church.
Razmic, 55, died late Wednesday night following a long illness.
Prayer services were held Friday night at Palm Mortuary and the mass was scheduled for this morning. Burial will be in Palm Memorial Park.
Razmic, a native of Pennsylvania, taught and coached in the Clark County School District for 30 years at Basic, Rancho and Eldorado high schools. He retired from the school district in April.
He was best known as the head football coach at Rancho where his teams captured four State large-school championships – in 1958, 1960, 1961, and 1962.
Razmic retired from coaching in 1964, but he continued as a health and driver education teacher at Rancho until 1983 when he was transferred to Eldorado.
He began his coaching career in Southern Nevada at Basic High in Henderson in 1954. He directed the Wolves to the Tri-State League's football championship in 1954.
John Tartan, a former roommate and long-time friend of Razmic, said, "To me, of course, he was like a brother. I've always thought he was one of the greatest high school coaches I've ever known." Tartan was the head baseball coach and Razmic's assistant in football at both Basic and Rancho.
"He was a staunch Catholic. I think that's what pulled him through this. He had 14 tumors removed in the past 20 years," said Tartan.
"He was so good with kids. What a good teacher he was – he was excellent. When we were counselors, if we had a problem kid, we put him in Charley's class and we didn't have any more problems with the kid. He was a tremendous motivator," Tartan added. Tartan recalled how Razmic was the first Dean of Boys at Rancho. "A big thing to me was how many of his former students went on to college," Tartan said.
Another former counselor at Rancho and longtime Razmic friend, Ken Divich, remembers Razmic's lasting association with his players and students. "One of the things about Charley was it was such a constant contact with kids. Once the kid graduated, he never gave up on him. He always maintained that relationship – the athlete and the coach," Divich said.
"Another thing that's amazing is how many people went on to head coaching jobs who came up under Charley from the Henderson days all of the way on through," Divich said. Divich said those included among others, Norm Craft, Bobby Peck, Joe Blockovich, Jimmie Nicksic, Ernie Ferrario and Larry Fromhart.
He went through was most people could never go through and exhibited just what he taught – 'Hang in there,'" Divich said of Razmic's 14 operations. "Charley was a very tough man on the field and in his own personal life. I've never seen him say, 'I give.' His coaching and his life were very similar," Divich said.
Divich noted that at the recent 30-year reunion of Basic High class of 1955 how so many of the former students made a point to stop by and greet Razmic.
Razmic played college football at Indiana University, where his son, Chuck, followed him as a player.
