John Milton Archer IV

So sorry to hear the passing of John. Sending love and peace to Mary Catherine, Charlie and all of the Archer family. God Bless! Rest in Peace, John.

Saw John every day as I was building a house next to his on Croydon. I always looked forward to our conversations. Great guy, engaging, always willing to offer a helping hand, always game for a beer while sitting around the fire, never met someone he couldn't engage in conversation. I'll miss our regular interactions. Condolences to his whole family. RIP John.

(Any time he borrowed our dump truck to harvest and haul fire wood, he would leave us a coffee gift card as a thank you.) We will miss John pulling into the parking lot and joining the group to shoot the breeze and solve the world´s problems.

I'll never forget your smile, John. Be well, my friend. Lawrence

Mary Catherine, Gracie and Betty Dale- this was way too soon. We are thinking of you and sending our love. Kim & Allison

Always had a smile on his face, loving life. My friend, this is waaaay too early for this, but we will...
