He served with the 75th Naval Construction Battalion in the South Pacific during World War II.

After the war, he worked as a draftsman for numerous tri-state projects and businesses before assisting with and operating several family-owned businesses.

John Chace loved boats, a good debate, his trusty pipe and the business he ran until the day he died.

In addition to his brother and sister, Mr. Chace is survived by nieces and nephews John William (Pat) Chace, James Robert Chace, Susan Ann Chace, Liz (Tom) VerSchure, William Allan (Blanca) Chace, Steven (Christina) Burnham and James (Lee) Burnham; eight great nieces and nephews; and five great-great nieces and nephews.
