A very heartfelt THANK YOU to Sheila Wathen of Beattyville, KY whose compassion and loving devotion to Archie in the last months of his illness gave him the comfort and peace he so desperately needed. Donations can be made to the Bluegrass Hospice Care. They truly were a blessing for Dad during what would be his last flight up into the sky. Pallbearers will be former longtime employees of Dad’s, who were just like family to him and our family: Brian Johnson, Sean Flanigan, Johnny Olinger, Charles Coomer, Brian Morris, Kevin Drake, Nick Webb, Nels Addison, and James Addison.
