Bruce Chase Obituary
In 1978 Bruce met the love of his life in San Jose: Linda. Bruce and Linda were married September 29th, 1979. After thirty three years of marriage Bruce and Linda were still in love with each other. Bruce and Linda were partners in everything they did and even started a small business together. In 1984 Bruce and Linda had a son, Kyle, and in 1986 their daughter, Kelly was born. Those who knew Bruce know that he constantly bragged about his children and Bruce still referred to Linda as his beautiful bride.
Among things that Bruce enjoyed are hunting and fishing and also grilling in the summer. Bruce was always happy to take the time for conversation and considered anyone he talked with to be his friend. He loved to tell stories and jokes. Bruce loved to travel; he was always looking forward to the next trip or vacation.
Above all, Bruce loved the Lord. Every morning he read his Bible and also led worship with Linda at church and Bible Study. In 2003 he became a licensed minister through Grace International and over the years he traveled with his best friend and pastor to help preach the gospel and pray for the sick. In December of 2011 Bruce also officiated the wedding of his daughter, Kelly.
One verse that Bruce always quoted was, "We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord" (2 Corinthians 5:8 NASB). Bruce was our loving father, devoted husband and loyal friend; his passing is hard to bear. However, we take comfort in knowing that Bruce is with Jesus in heaven and when God also calls us home, we will see him there.
"But God demonstrates his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8 NASB)
Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, July 21st at 2:00 PM at Nimsgern Funeral Home Chapel in Woodruff, WI.

Linda, Kyle & Kelly; and immediate family, cousins and friends;
Please accept our condolences from afar for your loss in this realm, and God's gain in his for which we have the hope of same.
Cherished memories shall remain of the visits at Mountain View, a young quest from WI to California through San Jose, resulting in opening up your home to my wayward self and friend. We, too, won't soon forget Kingman, AZ, where we shared family times on holiday occasion.
Your faith in each other and in Him shall see you all through these troubling times when alas you shall all be reunited again with Him who calls us home.
God bless,
Mike and Margie Hales

Bruce was many things to many people. But to me and mine, he'll always be a wonderful friend. Most of our phone conversations started off: "Cavebear calling Great Northern Bear." Since Heaven is in the northern part of the universe according to theologians.....I guess you could say that he is home!

My heart and prayers go out to all in your families during this time of saying goodbye for now. So very sorry for your great loss.
Bruce & I were neighbors growing up in Cupertino, California. We had a great group of neighborhood kids who gathered for fun times from several blocks around us. Lot's of great memories. My dad was leader in our Church Boys Brigade. I seem to remember Bruce going on one or more of those outings. Then several years later we became email friends though a reunion being planned via Classmates. We then stayed on each others email list. Bruce had bought my brother Tom's GTO and we enjoyed talking about that from time to time. Bruce was a good friend to all who knew him. Bruce loved our Heavenly Father, his Family and our Country. I will dearly miss Bruce and his e-mails.
