Dear Mrs. Archie, David and Altamese and all the Archie Family,

You have lost your own family "lion" and my heart grieves with yours. Keith Bergstrom and I moved to Tarpon Springs in 1987 and it was not long before we knew Mr. Archie as one of the most admired men in the community. It was our honor and privilege to know him and his family. I give thanks with you for his long, good life and for all his contributions to his family, church and larger community. He was a blessing to us all.

May God comfort each of your hearts.

To the Archie family, we remember Mr. Archie and our dad, Earnest Cleveland always out in the yard always working on something, or just talking about things. Our prayers are with the Archie family and may God provide comfort to you and the entire family.
