Mick and Scott, your dad was the kindest, gentlest dad in our neighborhood. Always made time for all us kids. So many memories with your family — riding in the dune buggy or mustang convertible, swimming in the pool, playing basketball, playing cards, and camping out in the backyard. Alan not only talked to us, but he listened to us as well and made us feel important. Hugs and prayers to you all ~ Kay Courtney Fenske

Al was a great friend and an even greater man. He was so kind to everyone he encountered. Al will be deeply missed, but I for one will never forget him or the way he touched my life. RIP AL….now your riding with the angels.
Alan Archer helped me grow up. A neighbor for 50 years, every conversation I ever had with him offered hope and encouragement. I will miss him, he was so much a part of coming home to visit. My family’s thoughts and prayers are w/Michelle, Scott and all his family and friends….God Bless You Alan.
