God reached down and took Archie unto His loving arms. He picked a precious flower from our garden. The most kind and loving gentle soul. Endless loving husband, most wonderful paw. Just a warm and gentle blessing to all who knew him. God needed him to put in his garden so He took from us our beautiful gift of life. But with each day God will help us, because we know while here on earth Archie lived his life to the fullest. He always shared his main love with us all, God, his wife, grandson and his love for trucking, his family and friends. We all know he is gone to rest in a much better place.
