I know this is kind of weird but I googled the pyro foreman for Jurassic World (I like to search random crew members sometimes bc their resumes are so interesting) and I came across Archie's memorial. I just wanted to say he seemed like a wonderful person and somebody was thinking about him today and wishing that maybe they could have met him. Love to all of you who miss him. He sounds like a wonderful man and father.♡
A few men have come into my life trying to claim the "dad" title. One was close, but there were no success, until I met my Nailima's daddy and her best friend. From the moment, I met you in your kitchen with a welcoming smile until that last goodbye at your shop/barn with your proud smile hidden under your mustache, you have displayed everything a father should be. Loving and caring. Generous and giving. Powerful and protective. Supportive and understanding. Kind and encouraging. I could continue to describe you with every single word this world has, yet it could never fully demonstrate who you are, who you were and the difference you have made in everyone's life. I could see why Nailima loved you so much. You were always there for her, not only as a father, but as a best friend and as a boss.
I don't know who wouldn't be touched by your presence and by your heart. Even when I was on the outside, looking in, your love was unwavering. Treating me and calling me one of your own always touched my heart, that's not a gesture just anyone can do. I can still remember our usual "business meetings" every Saturdays, sitting in your garage, drinking brown bottles and singing into the late nights, from Pua Lilia (at least three different times each Sat. night) to Surround me with Love, throwing in some Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, add in Masese, Tele I'a O le Sami and always ending it with Help me make it through the night. Thank you for being an amazing man, an awesome boss and the best father. For me there was never a father-in-law, just a father.
Loved beyond words!! Missed beyond measure.... I love you dad!

I feel you with me everyday and know you are in my heart always...i just wish we had more time together and you know I would give anything for that last time.I can still see you in the garage singing and smiling at me when I would come and see you every Saturday. I know there is no other place I would rather be then with you Happy Fathers Day Daddy I love you and think about you all the time you were the bestest like we would always tell each other...my memories Daddy of you are forever...I love you, Nailima
I was doing a fire stunt on LOST. Flaming bows and arrows. Archie was up on a ladder shooting at me. I looked up at him and he said "I'll take care of you". He sure did...what a pro and class act. I'll miss him.
