Arch loved the ocean; he had many fond memories growing up in Lawn spending time with his father on his boat. He shared this love of the ocean with family and friends taking them on day trips around Conception Bay on his boat ‘Scruffy’. His greatest joy however, was his family, he cherished his grandchildren and was always quick to share a story of their accomplishments and what they were involved in.

To Craig, Sean & the Edwards family and friends. I am so sorry to learn of Uncle Arch’s passing. I remember him as a very kind, caring and compassionate man who was remarkably supportive to his family. I also remember how kind he was to me when I lived in Goose Bay as a youngster, and how he stood by our family at the
time of our loss there. It meant the world to my mother and father & my sisters. May your great memories of Uncle Arch comfort you & your families as you support each other during the celebration of his life and in the days ahead. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Take care.
So sad to hear about the passing of Arch . Our deepest sympathies to all the family. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
