REMEMBERING THE LIFE OF AL SIEGLE

Alvin “Al” Edwin Siegle was born July 3, 1933 to Jacob and Marie

(Gaub) Siegle in Glendive, MT. He grew up on the family farm,

graduating from Dawson County High School in 1951. After working

on the family farm for two years, Al attended Concordia College in

Moorhead, MN. There he played football, and in 1957 he graduated with

a Bachelor’s Degree in Education.

On June 4, 1957, Al was united in marriage to Faye Solberg in Finley,

ND. They moved to Grand Forks where he earned his Master’s Degree

in Education from the University of North Dakota.

In 1958, Al began his teaching career in the Bertha-Hewitt School

District. The Siegle family moved to Pelican Rapids in 1964 where he

was a teacher, football coach, and athletic director. In later years, he

became an Administrative Assistant. He retired in 1994 from education

but was still involved in the school system by substitute teaching,

broadcasting sporting events, and keeping records for track meets. He

also raised Corriente rodeo cattle for ten years.

He was named to the Minnesota Athletic Directors Hall of Fame and

Minnesota State High School Football Coaches Association Hall of

Fame. He also received the Concordia College Alumni Achievement

Award and the Pelican Rapids P.R.I.D.E. Award.

Al was actively involved in Trinity Lutheran Church and the community

of Pelican Rapids. He was proud of his home state of Montana and

passionate about spending time with family at their lake cabin, playing

cribbage, and strumming his guitar. Al will be remembered for his great

sense of humor, his love of people, and his deep faith in God. He was an

encourager, a great mentor, and friend to many.

Al Siegle, age 82, of Pelican Rapids, MN, passed away Monday, August

24, 2015 at the Pelican Valley Nursing Center in Pelican Rapids,

surrounded by his family.
