Thomas R. Chase, 69, of Mason Road, Dudley, MA passed away Saturday, January 31, 2021, at Harrington Memorial Hospital, Southbridge. He leaves his children, a daughter, Kristy Sheehan of Maine; sons, Michael Chase of Massachusetts, and Andrew Chase of Connecticut, as well as his grandchildren, Joshua T. Sheehan and his wife Becky, and their children, Kyle J. Sheehan and his wife Allanah, all of Maine. He also leaves his mother, Phyllis Chase, siblings, Marilyn Reynolds and her husband George, Barry Chase and his wife Betsy, and Bonnie Clark and her husband Steve, all of Massachusetts. He was also loved by cousins and many nieces and nephews. Tom’s father Robert M. Chase, predeceased him in 2005. The love of his life, his wife, Deborah A. Chase predeceased him in 2012. The years since then were spent with his beloved dog, Sara, by his side wherever he went.

Tom was born December 1, 1951, in Worcester and was raised by his parents. He worked at Norton Company for a number of years but his joy was antiques. He and Debbie spent many hours together traveling and collecting. He made many friends during his travels that he held dear. He will be missed for his quick wit, sense of humor and his love of family.

The family plans to hold a private memorial service later this year. Paradis-Givner Funeral Home in Oxford is directing the arrangements.
