Aldrick “Al” Danford Sirard, age 87, of L'Anse, Michigan passed away on Thursday, July 28th, 2022 at his home with his family by his side.

He was born September 11, 1934 in Hancock, MI son of Joseph and Lou "Lulu" (Elmblad) Sirard.

He married Barbara Brazeau on September 3, 1966 at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church in L'Anse. Al worked for various construction companies, working in 16 states. He worked the last 35 years with Cherne Contracting Corporation until he and Barbara moved back to L'Anse and retired in 2008.

He was an avid Detroit Lions and Tigers fan. He enjoyed participating in a hundred-year-old family tradition of making maple syrup in Baraga. When his wife Barbara was volunteering at Sacred Heart Catholic School, he enjoyed bringing cookies and ice cream to the students who referred to him as "Big Al".
