Wang was born in China and moved to the United States with his family as a child. He founded Computer Associates, now called CA Technologies, in 1976 and was chairman and CEO until 2000. Survivors include his wife, children, mother and brothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J0e Th0rnton Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I still remember an issue of the hockey news from like 2 Decades ago where Isles fans were rejoicing because they had been under crap ownership so long that now they have the "Truly deep pocketed Charles Wang" committed to turning the franchise around. RIP and thanks for the laughs over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
