WALTER CHASE. WOW WHAT A GREAT HUMAN BEING. I PLAYED WITH WALTER IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT BANDS THROUGH THE YEARS AND ALWAYS ENJOYED MY BROTHERS COMPANY. HE WAS A ROLE MODEL FOR SURE. I KNOW HE LOVED HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS, AND I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT I AM ONE OF THEM. HE WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART. WHAT A MAN.

Vicki and kids- We were so sorry to hear of Walter's passing. We have many good memories and on our fridge we still have a photo he took of Diana at a soccer tournament a few years ago.

God Bless

When asked by the disciples how they were to know who the good guys and the bad guys are, Jesus said "you will know them by their fruits".

Walter raised a remarkable family, and was always the first to step up when someone needed help. His "fruits" are his legacy, and it's all good.

It seems like just yesterday that Walter and I were zooming down the hill on our flexy flyer and then swimming in the pool until we turned blue. What fun we had along with our best pals Louise and Tommy.

I admire Walter for being such a gentleman and accepting his illness with dignity. He fought hard and long for the sake of his family.

I will so miss my dear cousin, but I am blessed to have such wonderful memories of our times together. May the special memories you have in your hearts help to comfort you now.

Love, Cousin Toni

Walter was a good friend to have. Although I have not lived in Colorado Springs for years nor seen him since leaving, our mutual friends have kept me "in the loop" all this time--particularly the last year or so. As a musician, our mutual friends in The Bijou St. Blues Band, were my link to and with him since my move away. He was always a class guy who was every bit a "straight shooter". My sincere heartfelt condolences to you all.

Dear family and friends: I express my deep condolences. Psalms 46:1 God is for us a refuge and strength. A help that is readily to be found during distresses."

Walter Chase, Sorry that you had to leave, but you are now at peace with the lord. No more pain....
