Frank Chase
On Dec. 28th, 2021, days following the loss of his loving wife of 73 years, Frank Chase left us. He will be remembered by his three sons Steven & Beth Chase (Albuquerque), Brian & Vicki Chase (Minnetonka, MN), and David Chase (Albuquerque); grandchildren, Alexandra Chase (Albuquerque), Amanda Chase & James Blaine (Las Cruces, NM), Kathleen & Ben Wilinski (Minnetonka, MN), Andrew Chase & Bridgette Eickhoff (Shakopee, MN), Christopher Chase (Albuquerque), Mattia & Mitchell Espinosa (Alexandria, VA); great grandchildren, Noah, James & Lucas Wilinski (Minnetonka, MN).
Following his tour of duty as a radio operator on the super cruiser USS Toledo, Frank returned to his hometown of Bedford, Indiana, where, along with his new bride Eva Dossen, he began a successful career in the automobile business as President of Chase Chevrolet, Inc. Frank & Eva retired to Albuquerque, NM in 1982.
Frank loved Indiana University sports as well as Indianapolis Colts football... (especially when they won)! He was a founding member of the Hoosier Hills Ham Club of Lawrence County, served on the board of Bedford Federal, Ideal Club, Masonic Lodge and the Bedford Elks Club. A joint memorial service will be held with his wife Eva, at a later date.
The family encourages donations, on behalf of Frank and Eva, to Casa Angelica of Albuquerque, NM.
