Archie. What can I say ... you will be missed by many, especially me and Stephen. We loved you so much and are so saddened by your sudden departure. We know that you are in a better place, but we will miss you terribly. We love you so so much. The "Polce Girl" will miss you. Please look down upon Stephen and me and give us your guidance and look after your unborn grandchild. We'll meet up again someday. You were not only my father-in-law, but a very dear friend. Much love. Ann & Stephen

Arch will be terribly missed. He always had a way of brightening up your day when you needed it most. I don't believe you will find anyone as kind and caring as he any time soon. God bless the family ..Godspeed Arch.

Dear Paul and family members,

I was saddened to hear of Archie's death. We have been friends since college years and our birthdays are 6 weeks apart. Archie has telephoned me every year to catch up with family news and to send birthday wishes. My condolences to all of you. Family was of great importance to Archie. He will be missed.
