Joan and Ron, the timeshare legends

We never had the opportunity to meet Joan and Ron, but enjoyed reading their articles and blog. With deepest sympathy.
 
Definitely a timeshare Legend. Happy Trails Ron.

Oh thank you so much everyone. I don't need to tell how great timesharing was for all of us on this TUG website. TUG was so helpful to me when we first started and everyone was always so friendly and helpful throughout.
I will let you know that Ron passed like all of us want to, with no pain and then just breathed his last breath quietly. I had actually spent that last day at his side, even though he was not responsive, still talked to him ( they say the hearing is the last to go) and played our grandchildren's music videos for him.
He had been on Hospice since January 2025, one of the longest ones they had had here, since he declined so very slowly and of course, Hospice is and was wonderful for us.
Thank you again everyone for your condolences.
And Happy Traveling!
