Very saddened to hear of the loss of my Uncle Archie. Couldn’t have asked for a more loving and caring Uncle. I will miss him terribly! He always had time to chat whenever I called him. I will miss our talks! I send out my condolences to Anne Lee, John and Peter and to all the other relatives. I will always cherish the DVD I have of an interview Uncle Archie did not too long ago. What a memory he had and the stories he could tell. He will be missed by all!!!! Love you, Uncle Archie
