My parents, Win and Margaret, were close friends of Archie and Olive, and spent many wonderful times together. They were always laughing and enjoying life and their friendship. Archie was a great supporter of my Navy life and visited my family on several occasions. He was a friend to everyone! May God bless his soul. And thank you God for allowing him to be our friend for so many years. He was truly "special". Very Sincerely – Jerry and Rosemary Ellis
My heart & thoughts go out to Archie's family. He was a WONDERFUL man & I feel blessed to have known him. He lived near us for many years & it was a pleasure to run into him when I was walking our dogs….he always brightened my day!
My condolences to Archie's family. I knew Archie, while I lived at Barkley Place. He was one of my neighbors. I enjoyed his sense of humor.Elaine C Gridley
As a small child, I would always get so excited whenever Uncle Archie would pull up in one of his classic luxury cars at Grandma and Grandaddy's or other family gatherings because I knew I was going to hear a great joke or be shown some neat trick. Some of my favorite childhood memories were of Grandma taking us over to Uncle Archie and Aunt Olive's house during the summer to swim, rubbing our toes raw running around that pool deck (and getting yelled at every so often for doing so)! What a terrific memory. His laugh was so distinct and infectious, that I can hear it as I write this. What a special man who was so well-respected and loved by so many. I will miss him as I know many others will. I love and will miss you Uncle Archie.
What a wonderful man! I was so very fortunate to meet him more than 53 years ago when I started dating and later married his nephew, Jack. He was always the family story teller and there was never a dull moment nor the lack of laughter when we were all together. He certainly had a long, fun filled life and so glad I knew him. I loved him and will truly miss him and his great sense of humor.
