their children Melissa Danziel and Jennifer Forrester, all of Canada.

In addition to his parents, Roger and Arline Chase, Mr. Chase is survived by his brother, Sidney Richard Chase, of Vienna, and his brother’s dear friend Kathy Lowe Walker, of Salem, and several first and second cousins in Florida.
