Archie proudly served in the U.S. Navy aboard the USS Tennessee during World War II with his twin brother Arthur. He was an amazing father, grandfather, and man who put others' needs before his own. Archie loved old country music, playing his fiddle, tapping his foot in time to the music, and telling stories about "The War". He is in God's band now, playing a tune. Archie was a member of the Masonic Lodge and the VFW. There is a void that will never be replaced.
