Hardworking Handyman Always and Forever Archie is a country boy born on a farm in Lake City, Tenn. and is of 8 brothers and sisters. Archie would tell people he always knew what his next pair of shoes and pants looked like because his older brother was wearing them. As a child, Archie worked the farm with his siblings. Still a young child, Archie had his back broken from an accident where he lay in bed for two years mending. His family says this incident is what makes him part of who he is today. Archie is a hardworking man. First one on the job, last one to leave type fellow. He is a perfectionist and very crafty with his hands and mind. Archie likes to play guitar, and has a very good shot with a rifle. He reminisces about driving a tractor and turning the soil over, just as he did as a child. On his land stands the barn he built with his two hands and every season you would always see a stand of the prettiest corn in Anderson County. Archie made a living as a cabinet maker and ran a cabinet business until his retirement. He also enjoyed fishing tournaments and won his fair share. Today, Archie loves to fellowship and share his faith with fellow residents at Morning Pointe of Powell. He shares his personal Faith and ..."Gives God the glory in All things...". He loves helping staff with tasks and chores and listening to Christian music. When children come to present songs and praise, Archie is right there.
