Henry E. Sirum

Henry E. Sirum, 93, of Tequesta, FL left us to be with his beloved wife, Marge, beloved daughters Linda and Debbie and his five brothers on January 13, 2024. Henry was born in Montaque, Massachusetts, on June 7, 1930 to Adam and Mary Rose Sirum- the second of six boys. Henry grew up on the family farm that had been purchased by his parents when they got married. For years, Mary Rose had admired the house and dreamed of living there when she had a family of her own. After marrying, Adam bought his bride the house and the two worked the farm, together, raising six boys. In his late teens, Henry proudly enlisted in the United States Marine Corp, serving as a Company Clerk. When his term ended, he returned to the family farm and met his future wife, Marjorie. The two would live in the upstairs apartment on the farm where they welcomed their first two children, daughters Sandra and Linda. Soon, needing more space, they moved their growing family to Greenfield, MASS. Shortly after moving, they welcomed their third child and only son, Donald. In 1967, Henry and his brother Alex, left MASS and set off for sunnier pastures. The two packed their respective families up and moved to Juno Beach, Florida, where they bought The Blue Egret Motel. In 1970, Henry and Marge’s family grew again and this time it was another girl, Debbie- the only Floridian in the family! Henry and Alex would own and operate The Blue Egret Motel for over a decade. Once retired, Henry and Marge, Alex and Romona traveled the United States in their motor homes with great friends they made as members of numerous Motor Home clubs, including GMC Alumni, Sunshine Statesmen and Dixie Landers. Henry and Marge also took an amazing Alaskan cruise and tour of Alaska. Later, they would fly to Australia and New Zealand where they connected with Marge’s cousin and had a fabulous time! Throughout his life, Henry stayed close to his large family- they celebrated together and they mourned together. As the family he has reunited with celebrates, the family he leaves behind will mourn the loss of a beloved father, grandfather and uncle. He will be deeply missed by all whose lives he touched. Henry is survived by his daughter Sandra (Raymond) Davidson of Tequesta, FL; his son Donald (Kathleen) Sirum of Palm Beach Gardens, FL; his sons-in-law John Kosloski and Tom Marrotte; three grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
