Archie enjoyed hunting, fishing, drag racing in his 1955 Chevrolet and the outdoors mostly in his younger years. When Archie was able get out and work, he could fix anything and was always there for his family. As he got older he enjoyed teaching Sunday School at Williamsburg Baptist Church and spending time with his family, mostly his grandchildren. Archie worked at Miller Transporters Inc. for forty-four years and he always had lots of tales to tell.  Even though he couldn't get out to visit due to his health he always made phone calls to check on folks.
