It is with heavy hearts that the family of Lucien Alex "Lou" Sirard announces his peaceful passing on November 22, 2024, at the age of 89. Lou passed away at the Wikwemikong Nursing Home, where he received loving care during his final years.

Born on May 7, 1935, to the late Alexandre and Dorina (née Dufour) Sirard, Lou was a beloved husband to the late Lillian Sirard (née Huot) for 66 years.

Lou was a cherished brother to Lucienne (Lucy) Antoine of Ottawa, and he is predeceased by his sisters Yvette Gagnon and Rosabelle Weist. He will also be fondly remembered by his brothers-in-law Lawrence Huot (Rolande) and John Huot (Thérèse), both of Espanola, as well as his late brothers-in-law Fred and Leonard (Len) Huot.

Lou’s love and guidance touched the lives of his grandchildren Jacqueline, Jonathan, Alexandra, Kathryn, Melissa, Ryan, and Steven, as well as his great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the staff and volunteers at the Wikwemikong Nursing Home for their compassionate care over the past eight years.
