We were very saddened today when we heard of Archie's passing. What a wonderful man he was! Both Don and I have very fond memories of his visits to my parents' home and treasure the photos that we have of him and his photography. He left his mark on this world, and he will not be forgotten. Our deepest sympathy to all of you.

Esther and family,
We loved Archie. You know he was loved and remembered fondly by us and the kids. His pictures he made of us Paul kids when we were little are in our homes. In our house are also prints he made of our wedding. The kids will grow up with his books.
There are not enough words to say how special Archie was and you are.
We miss you, Esther.
love,
Jane, Ross and kids

I was always pround to tell people that I knew Archie. As a teenage, Archie taught a few of us photography. I'm 77 and I'm still at it. I had to smile a bit when Sol his father was mentioned, he gave me my first haircut and into my late teens. So sorry to see such a talented guy pass away

"Farm Boy" has been a fixture in our home, and now in Roger's conference room at Knox College since 1974. We will miss him.

I was so sorry to hear that Archie had died. He was a nice person and a great photographer. His work always showed how big his heart was. My studio was in the Gamma building and Archie would stop by when he was getting his film processed or having some prints made. His work will live on.

Esther and Family,
Archie was a remarkable man and will be greatly missed for his humor and his photographic talent. Our thoughts are with you and if you need anything please get hold of us.
Love,
Rick Stark and Brenda Lass

Seeing Uncle Archie was like meeting up with an old friend. We spoke of life’s everyday events. He was always truthfully straight forward, a camera near by and I will respectfully miss him. Forever peace. Love/Friendship Tim & Lisa

Dear Esther & Family:

We are saddened at the news about Archie. I know my Father, Sheldon (Chuck) thought the world of Archie, and I was inspired by his wonderful ability to capture the human experience on film. He will be greatly missed.

Eric - I am Hailey's Aunt Ardy. Sorry to learn of your father's passing. What a great man!

Although we were separated by distance, and often for years, each encounter that Cal and I shared with Archie and Esther resonated with warmth and respect. Time and distance just evaporated. We ( I speak for the late Cal as well) share the loss and sadness of Esther and the boys. Archie will always be his vibrant self in in memory.

Archie was one of the coolest photographers I have ever met. He was serious, he was fun, he was always working, he was the life of a party. He followed his own rules and always had a Nikon around his neck. He reminded us that we don't take photos; we MAKE photos. Stay cool and be here now, bro.

Dear Archie:
We will miss you.
We became buddies when we met at the U of Chicago, when you were photographing on campus and I was pr staff science writer. You introduced me to the freelance life and Jack Star and even gave me the idea for my first book, The Scientific Life.
Esther, you and we were close until you moved. I treasure your signed copy of The Scribe.
May your memory be for a blessing.

I met Archie through Red Powers and Bob Cromie, Tribune vets. Powers was also a Marine combat photographer and Cromie was a war correspondent. The three of them were the best of The Greatest Generation!
I treasure the JFK photo Archie gave me years ago.
Archie will long be remembered for his talent, generosity and love of life.
My condolences to his family and many friends.

Dear Esther and family:

Archie was an inspiration and will
live in our memories for ever.

Deep condolences.

We are sorry to hear about Archie's passing. Our family had just been enjoying one of his wonderful books about Galena a few weeks back. He has left a beautiful legacy and will be remembered for it.

Archie and his art and his family have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, thanks to the friendship he shared with my father, Jack Star. Several of Archie's photos grace our home, and every time I look at them I see something new and wondrous. It's not an exaggeration to say that Archie taught me new ways of seeing, too. He was generous enough to share his craft with the members of my photography class, and his ideas on making pictures were at once practical and profound. My family and I will certainly miss him, and our hearts go out to his family, especially to Esther who brought him such enormous comfort. May his memory and his art live on.
