Archie GOFORTH Obituary

GOFORTH, Archie E. Our loving husband and daddy of 90 years was taken to heaven on December 29, 2017. Predeceased by his parents, Archie C. and Ethel M. Goforth. Survived by his bride of 67 years, Patsy L.; son, Gary E.; daughter, Sherry L. Blurton, extended family, Buddy Gibson, William E. and Rosalinda Cordova Gibson and Deborah Malbon. Archie worked for 50 years at TIA as Maintenance Superintendent. He loved Trapp Shooting, hunting and fishing. Archie was a member of the Old Pueblo Muzzle Loaders Club, the Christian Motorcycle Assoc., The Arizona Old Tyme Fiddlers for 37 years, in which he enjoyed singing and playing his guitar and mandolin with his friends. Archie was fortunate to see his beloved Cubs win the 2016 World Series. With his baby blue eyes and a smile in his warm heart, he drew everyone to love him. Daddy, you were such a loving, caring and compassionate husband, father, friend and role model. We will forever hold you in our hearts. You are and angel till we are all together again. We all love you, my Husband, Daddy and Friend. No Services will be held. Arrangements by FUNERARIA DEL ANGEL SOUTH LAWN.

Patsy, We are deeply wounded to think of the sadness that comes with a loss of such great magnitude. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as always. We are so glad to know that you know that your Father is still more than capable of holding you both in his hands and heart at this time.

What a fine man and great guy...I had the good fortune to work with Gene at the airport for many years. Everyone appreciated his dedication to and care for the airport. I particularly appreciated his rescue of airport operations whenever a maintenance "emergency" occurred. That seemed to happen most often after 5:00 p.m. on a Friday before a three day weekend. We've lost an unsung hero. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
