John Chace Obituary

In addition to his brother and sister, Mr. Chace is survived by nieces and nephews John William (Pat) Chace, James Robert Chace, Susan Ann Chace, Liz (Tom) VerSchure, William Allan (Blanca) Chace, Steven (Christina) Burnham and James (Lee) Burnham; eight great nieces and nephews; and five great-great nieces and nephews.

I had the pleasure of being his neighbor for the past 16 years. I'll miss his humor.
He entertained my children and me by playing his piano and marimba on many occasions.
Mason lost one of its most interesting citizens.

I enjoyed the many stories that John shared while I parked my boat at his storage facility over the past few years. Come to find out that he knew my wife's grandfather - Gordon Corken (Corken Steel Products of Northern KY). Both of these men were true gentlemen and interesting business men in the Cincinnati area. I will miss them both! My prayers go out to the Chace family.

We will miss John as we do Jim. They were the best of the old school, two gentlemen in every sense.
