Arquimedes McGowan-Ferrer Obituary

Dear Pati, Molly and Cody,
We are still in shock about Archie's passing. From the first time we met Archie in a small Catholic school( about 1991) he and Pati, Molly and little Cody became like family. We all vacationed and partied throughout the years. As always, when last we saw him he was vibrant and happy. His life work was to help everyone he knew and to make us all happy with jokes and good company. His intelligence and generosity will be remembered. His love for life will live on in all of us. He is missed!
Pati, we pray for the family and we are here for you.
Love,
Eileen, John, Shannon and Jon

Archie was an immensely likable person. We met in 1978, became friends, and after I left Colorado 10 years later our friendship survived the distance. He and Patty came to Puerto Rico with the children a couple of times and shared their good vibes with us.
The Colorado Springs I knew will never be the same without him there.

I am so sorry to hear word of Archie's passing. He was not only one of the most intelligent persons I've ever met, he was also a happy and funny man who loved life and the people he surrounded himself with. My favorite Archie joke was when he asked me, do you know how ugly babies are made? I said no, how? He replied, go ask your mother! At least I think that was a joke. R.I.P. my friend and may God take you into His loving arms and show you everlasting joy and happiness.

Dear Patti: I am so saddened by the news of Archie's passing. He was such a wonderful human being and a pleasure to be with. We have thought of you both over the years from afar, back here in New England. Now that I am retired we are headed back to Divide in June. I hope we can get back together then. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong

Love and Peace,
Dennis Luttrell

I am so sorry to hear of Archie's passing. I met him at Murphy's and always looked forward to talking to him. He certainly was one of a kind and loved his family.I will never forget him.

Archie was and will be our friend forever, we are grief stricken with Patty, Mollie and Cody for Archie's passing on. We pray to Almighty to grant Archie's soul an eternal peace.

I am so sorry to hear of Archie's passing. Archie was always one of the greatest human beings I have ever known. He'll be greatly missed but NEVER forgotten.

Archie, you were always such a good friend to me and my family. You never hesitated to say it like it was. RIP my friend. Prayers for the family

Archie - we will always cherish the many good memories and all the years we spent with you, Patty and the kids. You've been our brother and we will deeply miss your words of wisdom and the fun times we spent together. Hermano, vaya con Dios. Siempre te Amaremous, Jose & Cathy

For a decade, I occasionally met up Arquimedes at the coffee shop. We would easily talk for an hour, many times more. We became the best of coffee buddies. I am saddened that we won't visit again; however, I will never, ever forget Archie and all those entertaining stories, several of which I have written about. My deepest condolences to his family.

To the family, I am sorry to hear the news about your loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this challenging time. Isaiah 61:1,2
