Betty and family, Archie used to come to Bill Birch's place for the annual horseshoe tournament. Everyone knew they were going to lose to Archie but it was worth it to observe his amazing talent and humble nature. Archie was one of the most genuinely nice men we have had the pleasure of knowing. We are sorry for your loss.

Betty and family, We were lucky to enjoy 20 years of two wonderful neighbours. Archie was the neighbourhood gardening expert and when Archie planted you planted and when Archie harvested you harvested. The old neighbourhood has changed so much in the last two years and we miss those wonderful neighbours. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Betty and your family at this time and next time we are up in Mount Forest promise a visit. I know Betty you have great family support. Take care, Bruce, Paula, Justin & Amanda Ghent, Belleville, Ontario.
