So sorry to hear of Arch's passing. I will never forget how he and Marion were there to provide comfort and guidance when my father Orson Mickels passed on.

Anne,
You've been by your dad's side through all the surgerys, hospitals stays, and rehab. You've been strong for him - and yourself all at the same time. When you feel that void
without him, know he will always be there tucked deep in your heart, and the many memories that will never fade.
Love you my friend - Stay strong and know I'm here for you.

My sincerest condolences to the family of Arch. I knew Arch well as a fellow railroad worker and we got along very well. Many hours were spent talking in Elko about the job, family, and a little bit of everything. I admired his intellect and sense of humor. He will be missed by his family and friends. RIP good friend.

Steve, your parents were beloved by our family. I appreciate all the love they shared, the Christmas buffets, the good example they were. Their lives were made richer by having you for a son.
With love and sympathy, Dave and Colleen Newman
