Richard “Rick” Duchene, who started the football program at Grand Haven and was the first coach of the Buccaneers’ football program, died Sunday.

DuShane started both men’s and women’s soccer programs at Grand Haven High School in the early 1980s and spent the next two decades helping countless young people to love the game.
