Albert S. Swierk Jr. (82), formerly of Warwick, RI, passed away on August 8, 2020 at his home in Lakeland, FL with his loving wife, Barbara (Miller) Swierk by his side.

Al was devoted to his family and had an incredible passion for helping others. He selflessly served in the United States Army. A Veteran of the JAG, 24th Infantry Division, Al spent the rest of his career working in various management roles within the community. From Store Manager at Ann & Hope, to Regional Manager for Cumberland Farms and Texaco gas stations, before finally retiring to FL in 2004 with his wife. He loved spending time at Disney World and walking the parks. He also enjoyed bowling and watching the Red Sox. Al’s favorite time of year was Christmas - he loved to decorate his house.

Born in Pawtucket, RI, “Al” was the son of the late Albert and Helen (Zyon) Swierk. Predeceased by his sister Dorothy Cardarelli, Al is survived by his brother Peter Swierk. He leaves behind his sons, A. William Swierk, Thomas Swierk, Daniel Swierk and Donald Miller. He was a loving grandfather to two grandsons, Benjamin Swierk and Chase Miller, and one granddaughter, Lucia Grace Swierk.

Al will be missed by all who were lucky enough to have known him!
