                   HONORING THE LIFE OF ROBERT CHASE

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 2, 2022

  Mr. PAPPAS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Robert Chase, a 
World War II veteran who passed away in early July at the age of 95. 
Born in 1926 in Lynn, Massachusetts and later residing in Rollinsford, 
Robert was a veteran, active member of his community, and a beloved 
father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.
  As a young patriot, Robert enlisted in the U.S. Army at the age of 18 
to fight in World War II, where he bravely fought with the 102nd 
Infantry Division in Europe. Robert was awarded a bronze star for 
bravery early in his career. He continued to serve his country in the 
years after the war as an officer and combat engineer in the 101st 
Engineers Division and as an officer in the Air Defense Command.
  Following the conclusion of his service in 1969, Robert worked 
diligently in business for different companies before he founded the NH 
Clinic for Hypnosis in 1980. There he helped the people of New 
Hampshire with a variety of treatments, including helping Granite 
Staters quit smoking. He especially loved performing his hypnosis for 
local schools. He was also an avid woodworker, restored antiques, and 
loved hosting his annual yard sale for his entire neighborhood.
  On behalf of my constituents in New Hampshire's First Congressional 
District, I wish to share my condolences with Bob's family, including 
his late wife Dorothy, their three sons and daughter-in-laws, two 
daughters and son-in-laws, eight grandchildren, and six great 
grandchildren. As we recognize Mr. Chase, I ask my colleagues in the 
House of Representatives to join me in honoring his rich life and 
legacy.
