KARL "CHIP" CASE

Karl was a great influence and contributor to our efforts to get states to deal with complex economic issues. I retired about the same time he passed so I had no idea. My shock and sorrow that he is no longer with us.

A man whose light continues to shine from his knowledge.

Professor Case had a profound impact in formulating the thoughts in my academic work and in my career in mortgage finance. Joseph Cater

I had the distinct pleasure of managing the Case-Shiller business for over 10 years, during which time I had numerous occasions to meet with and talk with Karl. The original core staff remains with the business and indeed have fashioned careers out of Karl's work. I recall several dinners, between East and West coasts, where I enjoyed first-hand his wide-ranging interests and sense of humor. It became a personal as well as a business relationship.

I recently saw Chip's obituary and was deeply sadended. I was a golfing partner at Nehoiden, a fellow Vietnam vet and a golfer with equal talent. His self effacing humor and wonderful outlook on life made him a pleasure to talk with. While I have moved from Wellesley, I think frequently of Chip and the fun times we shared. Hit 'em straight partner. Peter

My condolences to the family.
He was my professor at Harvard Law, and made economics and the law both understandable and entertaining.
Years later, when I was working for Cleveland City Council, I called him out of the blue to ask a policy question related to a proposed ordinance. He was generous with his time over the phone with me, happy to be of help to someone who had only taken one class with him.
Good teacher, good person. He will be missed.

Condolences to Chip's family. I was honored to know him professionally and lucky enough to call him a friend. His wonderful sense of humor brightened my day on so many occasions. And, his lack of pretension was unique and so admirable.

Susie, Kristen and family,
My heart is heavy so I will seek comfort in my many memories . . . his heart was pure gold, his love of economics was infectious, and we shared our love of Wellesley College and the desire to offer that opportunity to so many girls with potential. He was my friend who also happened to have been my professor. Peace and love to you.

Susan, I send my heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
