Gary Chase Obituary

WINCHESTER, N.H. - Gary L. Chase died unexpectedly at his home in Winchester, N.H., on September 19th, 2014. He was born December 1, 1962, to Don and Joyce (Vallier) Chase of West Chesterfield, N.H. He attended schools in West Chesterfield, N.H., and was a 1981 graduate of Keene High School in Keene, N.H.

Gary is survived by his daughter, Rachael Chase of NYC and son Seth Chase of Claremont, N.H. He is also survived by brothers Darrell (Barb) Chase of West Chesterfield, N.H.; Glen Chase of Manchester, N.H.; Jack (Nancy) Chase of Bomoseen, VT; and sister Kimberly (Norman) Houle of C. Gilsum, N.H. As well as nephews, one niece, aunts, uncles and cousins. Gary was a machinist in Winchester, N.H. He was predeceased by his Grandparents, Carroll and Madeline Chase of West Chesterfield, N.H., and Victor and Maude Vallier of Brattleboro, VT, as well as his parents, Don Chase of Raymond, N.H., and Joyce Chase of West Chesterfield, N.H.

Gary was a gentle and giving soul and would do anything for anyone that asked without reservation. He was a family man, doing all he could for those he loved. He was an extremely hard worker over many years, building his own post-and-beam home. He enjoyed working outdoors, riding his motorcycle, as well as helping his brother Jack at his sugarhouse in Hubbardton, VT. Gary will be terribly missed by his family, friends and all that knew him.

Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Foley Funeral Home in Keene, N.H. A separate memorial service will be held in Castleton, VT, at a later date. Donations in Gary's memory can be made to the St. Jude's Children's Hospital.
