Yes, the sad news is true. We have received the news from many sources. It
is an extremely sad day in the GMC Community. He was a great man and
supporter of this community. We send out our condolences to his wife Romona
and the family. With peace and grace.

This is no joke. Alex and Romona originally wanted to attend the GMCMI
Convention in Tallahassee. He was hospitalized last week and was moved to
intensive care while Jeff was at the Convention. Jeff left early Wednesday
morning from the Convention to return home.

Thanks for the details - now we know what we are dealing with. So very sorry to hear this - he was a Gr8 asset to the GMCers. Our prayers are now for the family and close friends who must deal with the sad consequences.

That IS sad news. Prayers for the family. Alex gave me an "Alex Sirum GMC" mug at the GMCMI in Pueblo nine years ago or so. Great guy and a real
asset lost.

I'm glad Grace and I went down and visited Alex and Ramona at the hospital.
Was total shock as he got out of bed and greeted us and Jeff advised me
that Alex was doing so well that he would be going home.

At moments like this, I always remember a tombstone I once saw with the
inscription, "From the necklace of life, the shining jewels slowly drop
away." Alex is the latest of the many jewels we've lost from the GMC
community.

Definitely a tough loss. Over my almost 12 years of coach ownership I've spent many hours at Sirum's. When I first got the coach we were out there
almost every weekend while Jeff and his guys did major stuff and I puttered around doing minor things. Having Alex come in around lunch and sit down
and chat for a while was always a pleasure. It was even more of a pleasure when he would wander into the shop, watch what I was doing, and then tell
me how to do it correctly!

After we moved to Alabama I have pretty much always visited Sirum's during our annual trip to the in-laws at Thanksgiving and most years had a punch
list for Jeff, a punch list for me, and time for a chat when Alex would stop by. A true gentleman, friend of the community, and great guy. He will be
greatly missed. Condolences and thoughts from my family to the Sirums and all who knew Alex.

He was indeed a good fellow, and always had a solution to a problem,
especially a GMC :)
