Albert Heriaud Obituary
Born: December 2, 1940
Died: May 23, 2020
Albert "Al" Heriaud passed on Saturday, May 23rd with his family and wife by his side in spirit and prayer as a result of COVID. Al was born on December 2nd, 1940 to Earl and Loraine Heriaud, the 3rd of 14 children. Al was an active part of the Aurora community having owned and participated in several businesses in town and playing Santa Claus to many young ones at Christmas time. He was the owner/ operator of The Shore Club on the Fox and had recently retired as trustee from the board of Fox Metro Wastewater Reclamation District.
Al is survived by his wife Starla; his loving siblings Vernice (Bob) Beach, Charlotte (Richard) Jacobs, Gene (the late Karen) Heriaud, Thomas (Pat) Heriaud, Joseph (Lynne) Heriaud, Sue (David) Plum, Lee (Becky) Heriaud, Neal (Ann Platzer) Heriaud, June (the late Steve) Ballard, Jim Heriaud, Nan (Jeff) Hansen and numerous nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews, all of whom will miss his perpetual smile and cheerful presence.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Earl and Loraine, brother Frederick in the Vietnam War, his brother Edward, his sister in law Karen Heriaud, and his brother in law Steve Ballard.
He will be greatly missed and surely joins the rest of his heavenly family with peace in his heart and a good time on his mind.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

What a sad occasion. My sincere condolences to his family. I have know Albert for forty years..My claim to fame is that he and I shared the same birthday (12-2-40). We used to get a lot out of that. You will be missed my friend. God bless you.

We will always remember Al as Mr. Personality who always had a smile on his face. Al was a groomsman in our wedding in 1970, and was a handsome and fun addition. Frank has many great memories from when they worked together at NCR half a century ago. Our deepest sympathy to Starla and the Heriaud family. Although Al lived a full and dynamic life, yet it seems too short. He will be missed. Susan & Frank Fiedor
