Greg Pilcher says
What I loved…and still love…about Al is a unique ability he had to make others feel loved. He truly captured the commandment given by our Savior Jesus that we love others with the same love our Father loves. I thank God for the encouragement Al brought into many homes, including my own. His response to a life-altering trial was one I would hope to imitate. I know that His Father in heaven is applauding the work He gave Al to do. Well done, Al. Well done!
Jim Flo Giles says
We remember Al and family way back when all of us were young. We grew and shared our Christian beliefs frequently until your family moved to Indiania. The children grew up and we barely recognized them during our recent visit last year. It was a wonderful time we had. We loved Arlene and Al’s visits to St Louis. Lots and lots of stories. Wonderful memories. Arlene, love your children – you and Al have done a wonderful job of raising them in the Christian way. Our thoughts are with you and in the years to come.
Jim Bush says
Dear Archambault Family,
Al was my mentor at Lutherwood for a year. He was a wonderful mentor and an exceptional man. Our time together was inspiring, re-assuring and enjoyable. Although I have never met you, Al obviously loved the Lord and his family above all. He was a giving and caring man and incredibly intelligent and articulate. I learned so much from him.I am grateful for our time together and will pray for you during this difficult time. Sincerely,
Jim Bush

Al was always willing to help others and had such a positive outlook on things. He was a kind and giving man that I’m sure will be missed by many.

Dear Arlene and family,
We heard the beautiful story about Al sitting up in bed, smiling, lying back down, and breathing his last earthly breath. What a testimony of how Al spent his life, for Christ! He now has his eternal reward, “Well done, good and faithful servant”!!
Bless each of you!
With love, Steve & Charleen
