Chuck and Penny became the sole proprietors of Luigi's when Nick died unexpectedly in a car accident in 1960. By that time, the couple was fully immersed in the community and continued on with the restaurant, working side by side. Chuck, particularly, had fallen in love with the golf community, as evidenced by the golf memorabilia that dots the restaurant's walls to this day. In the early days of the Masters tournament, Chuck would buy tournament tickets and distribute them to his clientele. As history would have it, Luigi's became a popular dining spot for many of the tournament's golfers, members, and various celebrities.
