Dear Wilma, Rick, Chris and Family,
We have been out of the country and did not know of Alec's passing. We were so sad to hear the news as we did not even know he was unwell. We are so saddened by the news as we both remember Alec well and that is the way we know he would want us to remember him. We think so much of all the Strom family, and especially you Wilma, so devoted to your beloved Alec. We admire you for your devotion to him and the business. We spent many hours helping to make your
house and businesses beautiful. We are truly sorry and hope you know we will all remember Alec a as a good man, hard working and and someone who was willing to give all people a chance.
Now we are so sad and your family will be our prayers. We were so blessed to have had the chance to have Alec in our lives.

Wilma and Family,
I am so sad to hear of Alec's passing. Alec was a true Pioneer in the Tim Hortons business. He was also very good at sharing the knowledge he had worked so hard to gain over many years.
When I joined the Tim Hortons chain in January of 1986 Alec was the first person to welcome me into the chain. He was also the only licencee to give me truly great advice. It is largely due to Alec's efforts that I have managed to be successful in this business. He taught me the basics, such as, 'Time to lean is time to clean." "Sit on the trash while you count the cash.", "Sometimes you need to front load your labour and production at a higher level than you think. Don't be surprsied when you reach this high level of sales." "This is a people business, you better like people or get the hell out!"
I miss him already.

Mr. Strom
You were always a person I enjoyed meeting with. You always had a smile and your funny jokes left me laughing well after visiting you. You will be missed.
Wilma, Christine, Rick and Family these are the days that we all must face at some time in our lives, it's never easy losing a family member. Time does heal all wounds and it will always hurt when thinking of the past but as long as you all have each other it will make it that much easier to remember.

Our thoughts and prayers to family and friends. Alex and I met soon after we entered the Tim's business and he made such an impact on us. I met him at some advisory board meetings in the early 90's . My son and I also had the fortune to speak to him briefly at Disneyworld in June. He was a true pioneer and will be missed.
