Notes |
- Per June Quinn Lahti: Both Willy and Archie would cut hair of male family members, out in the back yard sitting on barrels. Archie was eccentric per the family stories, he never washed his hands and when he cooked he would put it straight onto the stove instead of into a pan. They always said he was so healthy because he ate so many germs (innoluculated). Willy and Archie would always saw big logs in the back yard with a 2 man saw with huge teeth. And they always had a dog. Archie had a good heart though and loved little animals.
- He was a dead shot with a sling shot, killing squirrels and birds and rabbits and muskrat to eat. And when the pike were spawning they'd come up the creek and he'd spear them or just catch them and put them in a big wash tub in Mimi's back yard where they'd be swimming around until they became dinner. Both Willy and Archie never knew to use any weapon except a spear and a slingshot.
Archie would do the damnedest things to shock people and then he'd stand there and laugh. He painted his shoes one summer so they were white.
- Per Delores, Archie rode a red, white and blue bicycle all over Grosse Pointe during the war. And also had red, white and blue wingtip shoes.
- Per Bob Muehring, says he never got over finding his wife in bed with someone else and had "problems"
