CAMDEN - Ralph Chase Lasbury was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle and friend to many. He passed away on January 17, 2022 with family by his side at the age of 91, although Chase would tell you he was in his 92nd year.
He was born to Ralph Chesick Lasbury and Cecilia Chase Lasbury in Hartford, Connecticut on June 6, 1930. After graduating from Tabor Academy in Marion, Massachusetts, he attended Colby College in Waterville. It was at Colby that Chase met his beloved wife, Sally Nan Lasbury. Nan and Chase were married in Tarrytown, New York on July 12, 1952.
Chase had a long and successful career with Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance and retired as a general agent of the company in Rochester, New York. Through his job at Northwestern, he and his family lived many places across the United States including, Hartford and Wilton, Connecticut, Milwaukie, Wisconsin, Rochester, New York, and Winter Park, Florida, finally settling in Camden in 1993, where his grandparents had established a foothold back in 1896. Chase also served as president of Chase Groves Incorporated, a family orange grove and real estate business from 1985-2013. He enjoyed being a grove owner often taking family to visit the oranges and bounce around in his car through the orange trees.
Chase loved being active and particularly enjoyed playing tennis, golf, skiing, boating and hiking. He loved the time he had with family and friends often regaling all with tales of family and local history. Chase seemed to know a little bit of everything about everyone and every place. He couldn't walk into Megunticook Market, Mariner's Restaurant, Rotary, Megunticook Golf Club, Watershed Association, or the transfer station without meeting a person he knew or making a new friend. He'd always stop and share a story and a laugh with all he met. Chase had a passion for people and one could understand this by the way he listened (as best as his hearing allowed) and spoke intently to everyone he met.
Chase and Nan shared many passions. They had such a competitive nature on the tennis court and the golf course that they were much better suited as opponents rather than partners. However, in life they were nothing but partners to one another through thick and thin. Chase and Nan were married 68 years, argued daily and loved dearly.
In January 2021, Chase lost the love of his life. Since Nan's passing Chase blessed his family and friends with 322 bonus days and spent them having meals with family and friends, attending his grandson's every lacrosse game across the state of Maine, and enjoying a final summer by the lake with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He will be severely missed.
Chase is survived by his daughters, Debbie, Shauna and Becky; grandchildren, Kimberly (Evan), Alisha, Emilee, Willy and Theo; great grandchildren: Joshua, Mckaylah, Serenity, Harrison and Justus; son-in-law Chris Cummings; extra daughter Mary Clewet; his faithful companion Munchkin who curled up in his lap until the end; his sister, Abigail Lasbury Fitzgerald; and too many nieces and nephews to list.
He was predeceased by daughter Paige, and son, Ricky. His family takes great comfort in the thought of his homecoming with his beloved Nan, and children Ricky and Paige.
In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to the Megunticook Watershed Association, PO Box 443, Camden, ME 04843.
