John Chase

John Chase was a very good friend of mine. Anyone who ever met John became his friend. I don’t think he ever met anyone who did not call him friend.

I met John when he came to Immaculate Heart College. He was in the art department. He was an exciting dynamic person. He was always creative and busy. We had a lot of fun.

He left college to go to work for Motel 6 Suppliers and gave me my first job out of college. He was my boss.

John was the epitome of an entrepreneur. He created two profitable companies where he employed many friends. He started Chase Harper (making motorcycle luggage) with his lifelong friend Ron Harper. He started FOARM Inc., which specializes in designing and molding custom products. He sold both of these profitable companies.

John loved all kinds of bikes. In the early days large groups of us took many trips to camp out in the desert and ride dirt bikes and dune buggies. He was always on the move, riding bicycles around town with friends on a regular basis.

He will be missed by many.
