March 15, 1947 - December 18, 2017
Joseph W. Chait (70), son of the late Robert and Toby Chait, passed away at home on Monday, December 18th at 10:00pm surrounded by his loving family after a valiant 8 month battle with cancer. December 18th, 2017
An avid fisherman, passionate skier, often competent golfer, and master margarita maker, Joey had a smile and laugh that could fill a room. A 43 year resident of Menlo Park, Joey was passionate about his business, having first partnered with his father and then his son, and loved nothing more than traveling the world with his beloved wife and true love.
A man who put family and true friendship above all else, his goal throughout treatment was "to inspire others". Inspire you did, Joey. You will be deeply missed, and wholeheartedly celebrated.
He is survived by his devoted wife of 47 years, Deborah, adoring children Marcus (Melissa), Jessica Sieck (Shawn) and the "lights of his life" Zoe (11), Brody (9), Stella (5) and Sophie (3).
A celebration of Joseph's life will take place at Peninsula Temple Beth El in San Mateo on Friday, January 12, 2018 at 10:00 AM.
