Bruce, Brian and families: May the Lord bless you with your many cherished memories and grant you his peace as you grieve. I imagine that today and each "Father's Day" will hold a deeper meaning. Blessings in Christ, Brian and Diane Magee

It was a pleasure to work with Ed for many years. He was unfailingly honest, decent, and understanding, with strong faith, and a kind word for everyone. My condolences to Darlene and Ed's family - he will be missed.

Dear Darlene and the Archer Family. We were sad to learn from Wilda Stauffer of Ed's Homegoing ... may it comfort you to know he has gone to be with his Saviour and Lord, whom he loved and served for so many years. We have many fond memories of Ed and Darlene, when they would be at their vacation home in Columere Park -- they would attend our church in Invermere; we recognized them at Coy's Golf Course one day [when we were sorting out whose golf ball was whosesanitize_seed_30vdtxxnki04kossk0okskksg!sanitize_seed_30vdtxxnki04kossk0okskksg]sanitize_seed_30vdtxxnki04kossk0okskksg and decided to get together; we enjoyed many delicious meals together [both in Calgary and here]; fun games of Mexican Train; and great fellowship. May the God of all comfort surround your family with His abiding peace and strength at this difficult time. Love and prayers, Dan and Lenore Rohrick.

Darlene, Brian, Bruce and family. Please know that we are in prayer as you grieve Ed's death. We only know of him through Brian's stories ... evidently he was a Godly man who influenced many. Please know that we are in prayer; trusting that our Lord will carry you all in this season. Blessings in Christ, Lynn & Michael Benty

Darlene, Brian & Diana, Bruce & Kathy, Chyenne and special grandchildren, Our hearts are deeply saddened by the lost of our dear friend, Ed! We enjoyed many years of friendship visiting, worshipping, praying, and eating together! We loved his humor and soft chuckle when sharing stories! His life is an example of dedication and willingness to put the Lord first in all things! May God's presence and peace be experienced at this time! With fond memories and prayers, Norm and JoLynn Reimer

Our sincere sympathy and prayer go to all of you as family. I remember Ed when his dad, Rev. Archer, pastored the Galahad United Missionary Church, when I was young. Ed and his brother, David, were probably in their teens and Ed was quite a baseball player as I recall. May the Lord give you His comfort and peace in these difficult days. With prayer, Opal & Melvin

Our sincerest condolences to Darlene, Bruce, Brian and family. We have many fond memories of Ed and Darlene and their boys dating back to Redwater in 1964 and onward. Ed, Dale and Darlene are now reunited and in the Lord's presence. Our prayers are with Darlene and family at this time.
