Aunt Margie and Family,
I remember the days we had our family reunions so many years ago. What a great time it was having us all together. The laughs and joy we had being close as family’s do. I loved hearing the stories we shared. Now they are all together again laughing and enjoying each other for eternity.. Till we meet again in the heavens above. May he rest in peace. Love you Aunt Margie.
Aunt Margie and girls,
Patti and I send our love and prayers to you. We like so many others can not believe his passing. He will always be in our hearts. The memories of Uncle Archie and I golfing and making bets on the Jayhawks vs Indiana will always be with me.
RIP Uncle Archie
I love you Grandpa, and am so very very proud of you…always in my heart <3

Will miss him on the golf course whether betting with Dale or trying to teach me to putt, playing cards, enjoying the activities and friends at the RV park. Will miss his e-mails with jokes or political comments. We will stay in touch. Love to you and yours. Dale & Sharlene
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We were so sad when we were told of Archie’s passing. He will be missed by many. It was always a pleasure to have him at the Poker table. He was a joy to play against. He had a heart of gold and is now walking those Golden Streets in Heaven.

Dear Margie and family: Joe and I were saddened to see Archie’s obituary in the LJWorld this morning. Archie was such a lovely person and always so kind and cheerful. You and Archie were so well matched for each other. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family now and throughout the weeks ahead. He will be greatly missed by so many. With our love.
I’m impressed, I have to say. Really not often do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and enetgtaininr, and let me inform you, you will have hit the nail on the head. Your thought is excellent; the problem is something that not sufficient individuals are talking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled throughout this in my search for one thing referring to this.
