It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of "Archie" at the Sunnycrest Nursing Home on
Wednesday November 22, 2006 in his 87th year.
Archie was born in Campbeltown, Scotland, served in the Royal Air Force during WWII and emigrated to
Canada in 1948. He retired from the Scarborough Board of Education in 1985.
"Archie" is survived by his beloved wife Ethel Ellen Edith Holly (nee Burton) of 65 years. Dad to
Margaret, Ted, Mary and Lynda. Wonderful Grandad to Michelle, Kelly, Robert, Paul, Mary, Tyler and
Jewel. Great-Grandad to Timmy, Nickolis, Amanda, Alan, Alyssa, Aiden, Lyndon, Owen and Lars.
Very fondly and lovingly remembered by grandson-in-law Tim - his Toronto Maple Leaf buddy.....and
'friend to the end'.
Resting at the W.C. TOWN FUNERAL CHAPEL- Cremation with interment in Scotland at a later date.
Happy Birthday Grandad!

Two years ago today you left us Grandad.....I miss you just as much today as I did the day you left. I love you so much and am so glad that you were such a big part of my life.
I will never forget you or let my children forget you and the person you were to us.
I love you.
Love always,
Michelle

Miss you so much!
I miss you so much Grandad, some days more than others -- today seems to be one of the MORE days. I miss your phone calls, I miss you asking how the kids are, I miss you asking me what our weather's like (Haha --- that question was always a part of our conversations -- even if we'd just spoken an hour earlier), I miss you singing to me on my birthday (I think I miss that the most -- you did it for 36 years and NEVER MISSED ONE SINGLE YEAR), I miss seeing you light up when I walked into the room....even in the nursing home when you didn't know who many of your visitors were you always knew me..... I miss everything about you.
I love you Grandad!!!
Loving and missing you always,
Michelle
xoxo
Merry Christmas
2nd Christmas without you Grandad .... holidays will never be the same without you! We're spending the day with Mum, Lawrence & Nana up at Mum's --- turkey dinner! I love and miss you so much it hurts.
xoxox Love you always, Michelle xoxox
1 year since you left us....
Angels sang 'Amazing Grace',
The Lord came down and touched your face,
He held your hand and whispered slow,
'Come with Me, it's time to go'
The gates of Heaven opened wide,
The Angels lined up side by side,
A special person was on his way,
The day they took “Archie” away.
ALWAYS in my thoughts!
FOREVER in my heart!
I miss you so much Grandad.....I can't believe a whole year has passed.
I love you!
Love always,
Michelle

Loving & Missing you always
I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too,
I think of you in silence I often speak your name
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part
God has you in His keeping I have you in my heart
My First Christmas in Heaven
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
With tiny lights like Heaven's stars reflecting the snow.
The sight is so spectacular- please wipe away the tears
For I'm spending Christmas with Jesus this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear
But the sound of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here
I have no words to tell you the joys their voices bring
For it's beyond description to hear the angels sing
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart
But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart.
So be happy for me dear ones you know I hold you dear
And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I sent you each a special gift for my heavenly home above,
I sent you each a memory of my undying love.
After all love is a gift more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other as my Father said to do.
For I can't count the blessing of love he has for each of you.
So have a merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.
Remember I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
