Miss Ginny,
Nancie and I are so saddened to hear about Jim. He was a
great guy and always fun to be around. When we were around
you and Jim, a lot when Dennis was racing, Nancie liked to watch you and Jim dance. My fondest memory is playing golf with him at Stonehenge when I was Superintendent, the day he scored the course record at that time. I also shot one of my best rounds that day. He inspired me to be better.
With love and condolence,
John and Nancie Doss

Sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. I remember first meeting Jim at Stonehenge Golf Club for a member-guest tournament with his brother Dennis. He arrived in his beloved Corvette. My wife Sue and I enjoyed being seated with Jim and Ginny at Meadowbrook for an “Embers” concert and dance. Our respects to the family.

Miss Ginny the Vass family is very saddened with Jim’s death. Jim was my idol when I first joined Meadowbrook. Being a fellow Lefty I wanted to play like Jim steady and fearless. There is more important things than golf but nothing more valuable than you and Jim and the friendship that we valued. I have the picture of Jim Chase me and Noah when they were little playing in the parent Child. Thank you both for the memories and friendship. We love you and you can call me anytime. Billy Vass and family.

Ginny, Just want you to know that Jerry and I are so sad at the loss of Jim. We absolutely and thoroughly enjoyed the times we were fortunate enough to be at the same dinner table with you both down at the club. I will always remember and be grateful for how kind and gentle Jim was toward both of us. He always made us feel welcome and loved. We will continue to keep you in prayer as you navigate the loss you are enduring.
Love, Jerry and Sue
