John Chase

So sorry to hear of John's death. I knew he had health challenges the past few years, but did not realize he was as ill as he was.

I enjoyed meeing John and his family on one of their trips to Las Vegas. He was a man who truly enjoyed family, travel, and having a good time.

My condolences to his family. John was a great guy and he will be missed.
 
Such sad news. My sympathies to John's family and hope they find strength in good memories. He will be missed here very much.
 
Very sad to hear of this. I wasn't aware that he had been ill and it was helpful to see the obituary. He will be missed by many including his TUG family.
 
R.I.P. John ~ my condolences to the family.
 
My condolences to his family.

Allan, thank you for sharing the obituary. It gave a life story and face to timeos2.

He will be missed.
 
We've been busy with out of town guests the last few days, so I didn't get this sad news until today.

I'm so sorry to hear about John's passing. I only knew him electronically through TUG, but I was always impressed with his knowledge of our somewhat arcane subject matter here and his willingness to share it with others. As a TUG volunteer he was always steady and reliable and the lack of his presence and participation will leave a gaping hole that will be hard to fill.

R.I.P., John, you will truly be missed.

Yes - another of the TUG "grizzled vets" passes on.

It's funny how in a site such as this you can get to "know" someone well whom you have never actually met. And surprisingly, for me the fact that we never actually met in person can make the sense of loss even more acute. It's as if there was a part of the relationship that was never filled, and now will always be incomplete.

Farewell, John.
 
I am so very sad to hear of John's passing. For many years, he has been such an integral part of our TUG community. I enjoyed reading his posts, and learning from his TS wisdom. RIP John.

Prayers go out to John's Family at this time. He will be missed.
 
I'm just catching up on my timeshare reading and was saddened to read this update. RIP John. Prayers to his family and friends.

Well said, Stu. It's the end of an era.

John Chase embodied uncommon intelligence & unfailing integrity. His manner & disposition were always even & steady, in person & here on TUG & specially on the Yahoo internet group for Cypress Pointe, where his responses were patient & respectful even when the messages he was responding to were the opposite. He faced difficulties square on without complaint, even his prolonged struggle against cancer & its long, grueling aftermath. He offered practical advice & help about timeshares & computers to all who asked in person & via internet. He was a straight talker, not a smooth talker. He was diligent & responsible & hard working. Once you got to know him, he was open about his enthusiasm for his preferred sports teams & his favorite rock & roll band, his affection for his family & his pets, & his preferences about software & timeshare systems. For people who were willing to learn, he was willing to teach. John led by example. Being with him in person was a rewarding pleasure. His death fills me with sadness.

When I asked about it 1 time, John decoded his TUG-BBS user name, timeos2. He said it stands for 2 of his favorite things -- timeshares & the OS2 computer operating system. Makes sense to me.

John's sister provided a link to his obituary. Click here for that.

And also very well said Alan. Thanks for sharing the story about how he chose his name. I recall he mentioned OS2 a few times but didn't get the connection there.

I'll miss timeos2 on TUG.

It is especially sad to those here at TUG when we lose a "friend" who was also a volunteer moderator.

I really appreciate those who provide much needed services here; who share with the rest of us and willingly help those who don't understand or need assistance. THANK YOU, John - you will be missed by many whom you never met but appreciated your advice and assistance!

Our prayers are with your family......to hold onto those precious and special memories......
 
I am so sorry to hear this -- R.I.P. John Chase.
 
So sorry to hear this - RIP John.
 
RIP John. You'll be missed.

RIP John. You will be missed
 
John will certainly be missed here on Tug. It's volunteers like him who help the rest of us learn the ins-and-outs of timesharing.

My condolences to his family.
 
So sorry to hear this tonight after being away for a few days. I've truly enjoyed his posts and will really miss him.
 
And he was only 63!

My condolences to the family.

Thanks for posting his username.

Sorry to hear he has passed. Even sorrier to read that he was very sick for a long time.

Regarding him logging in.... anyone could be using his computer and he could have it set to auto log himself him. They may or may not even be looking at the site. Send a PM and see who it is.
