Great friend, very sincere, honest hard working and loving. We had over 20 year friendship. I always found love and friendship in Archie and Marjory. Always thought Archie was my big brother..

I had no idea about Archie passing till I went to visit him a couple of days ago. No body answered the phone, I got panicked. Could not find Steve's or Mark's phone numbers in my contacts. Just found this site online.

There are no words to express my sorrow and pain that I could not see my dear friend one last time to listen to him and tell him how much his friendship meant to me. I don't know how to get hold of Marjory, Steve or Mark.. I love you all.
