Thoughts and Prayers
To all my family up home...Archie was a kind, quiet, gentle soul. I grew up around him,Norma and Mel a lot.Moreso than the other kids because I'm the oldest.Celia spent more of the time as a grown up. I loved talking to him about our mutal love of antiques especially his Murphy bed which I absolutely loved.. I was so happy when he found his true love. When she died, I was so sad for him. The covid 19 virus and demential may have did him in but they didn't win. He's now healthy and happy with the Lord, his wife,Norma, Mary Iva, Mel, Aunt Goldie and Uncle Norman, my mom and dad, his cousins Pat, Sylvia, Sue and Jimmy and all our family too many to mention, SOmeday we'll be with our Lord too and also wih them.So thankful for that promise from our Lord. May His love,peace and strength cover you at this time.

I just heard last night about Archie's passing. He was a dear & close friend of my family, as was Gloria, who worked with my mom at Lincoln University, & he was one of my brother Jeff Cullen's best friends, & a pallbearer at Jeff's funeral. He was a good & kind man, always ready to give you a helping hand & a laugh that would light up the room. I had tried a couple of months ago to call him to see how he was doing, but understandingly got no answer. He will be missed. Rest In Peace Archie.
