We knew Arch through Couples for Christ. He loomed large and was a fierce warrior for Christ. Yet he didn´t hide the tenderness he felt for those who were hurting. A man for God, he will be remembered and missed, but is now receiving his just reward. Praise be to God!

Arch and Marlyn, your love, prayers, witness , teachings, retreats , and most of all, bringing CFC and FCJC into our family have impacted our lives and pointed us to life in and through Jesus, and have deepened our practice of our Catholic Faith! Your example has shown us how we can follow Jesus and share His love with others.Arch , you will be missed, until we meet again in Heaven!

May Arch rest in the eternal peace promised by the Father and paid for by the Son. May his spirit live on in all who loved him and those he loved.
