Archie,
I will never forget the terrific times we had together growing up in SF Chinatown, going to the "Y" every Friday night, playing basketball, the many dances, listening to 45s, cruising in the Plymouth Valiant, the Hot House, Country Club Billiards, and most importantly, the friendship that lasts a lifetime. You will be missed but never forgotten, bro.

We went through a lot of good times and bad times together. Rest In Peace my brother.

Although we lost touch during our adult years, I can still remember back to the Commodore Stockton School days. Archie was the charming one with charisma and a great smile. He was kind and friendly towards everyone. The kid with the awesome dimples. I'm very glad I was able to chat with him at the Leway's Reunion.
Peace and happy thoughts always.

Sadly missed along life's way,
quietly remembered every day...
No longer in our life to share,

Happy trails dear friend.
