Fort Wayne, IN—Muriel Wallenstein, widow of legendary Komets broadcaster Bob Chase passed away Tuesday morning, March 31, 2020, at the age of 96.

Muriel, also known as Murph, hailed from Munising, Michigan, and married Bob in 1950.  The couple moved to Fort Wayne when Bob accepted a job in radio with WOWO in 1953 and changed his last name from Wallenstein to Chase, Murph’s maiden name.
