He enjoyed playing the guitar in his younger years, collecting antique furniture, Humel figurines, and coins. Archie also enjoyed watching his programs on RFD TV, listening to country music, attending social events with his wife, visiting, especially on the telephone, with family and friends. He enjoyed spending time and taking rides with his best dog Possum and all the dogs that came before. Archie never knew a stranger, he was generous with his skills and helped anyone in need. He was known for his wonderful sense of humor, his reminiscing stories, and the love he had for his family and friends.
