Dear Mrs. Archambault and family - I was so sorry to hear about "Archie" as he was referred to at Tolland Barbers. I bring my two boys to Tolland Barbers regularly for haircuts and my older son, Ryan, who is 8, would only like Archie to cut his hair. I was very saddened by his passing and I know my son will miss seeing him. I just wanted you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. We hope that you have many happy memories to help you through this difficult time. Sincerely - Deb, Ryan and Nathan Sterling

Phil Archambault Family:

My deepest condolences to you on your loss. I worked for many years with Archie at SNET. He was one of the finest, honest, and dedicated men I was ever associated with. On April 10th he cut my hair before my leaving for Maine for the summer. We (once again) reminisced about the good old days at SNET.

Again, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Ruth Ann, Tim, Tom,



So sorry to hear about your Dad and my first cousin. I have many many fond memories of Ash Street and Coventry Lake when I was a young lad. Your Dad ALWAYS spoke with pride of his family, especially you guys. Just recently I saw him at Shaw's Supermarket and he said he wouldn't change a thing. He was very greatful for what he had and what he had done in raising his family. Much pride was expressed by him in our conversation. He will be missed!!



Just to let you know that I will not be able to make his funeral as I'm at the Brigham Women's Hospital in Boston today for my wife Dianne's heart surgery. Ruth Ann, I will stop by your home in the very near future for a visit.
