Craig Chase Obituary
For 37 years he was a loyal and proud worker at Electric Boat, General Dynamics in New London. Craig valued his many friends and coworkers at EB in a brotherhood that enriched his life immeasurably. At EB, he met the love of his life Janice Goodall. They shared love, stood by each other and endured the many challenges of life for over 20 years.
Craig loved his classic rock music, his Chevy truck and his friends. He loved Chebu: the fox terrier that took his heart and made it sing. Craig loved him so dearly that he could never bear to have another dog, and endure the loss that he experienced with Chebu.
Craig leaves behind his sister, Cynthia Chase; his brother-in-law, Michael Agovino; his beloved aunt Doris Dobrowski; and his cousins and other family members who will miss his gentle Spirit. He leaves behind his close friends, Keith and June, with gratitude for the many years of their friendship, love and support.
Craig loved deeply and without reservation. He was authentic, soft and tender, and felt to the bottom of his soul. His Spirit is "In the Light" now. Shine on Dear One. We love you.
Celebration of Life at will be at noon May 3, at Thomas L. Neilan & Sons East Lyme Funeral Home, 48 Grand Street, Niantic.
