Archie graduated from Bismarck High School and was a member of the First Church of Christ in Georgetown. He enjoyed woodworking, dancing, camping, & fishing. When Archie married our mom, he got an instant family; 3 grown kids & spouses & one granddaughter with 3 more on the way. He loved all the family get togethers; cookouts, picnics, Christmas Eve meals where there would be games of softball, volleyball, serious ping pong matches & all around good fun. He loved a meal, not picky, he would eat almost anything.
He always said he liked 2 kinds of pie, hot and cold. He was an honest, hardworking, generous, well-liked man. He was especially proud of his new little great-great grandson, his namesake, Gus Denton. He never wanted to say goodbye, just so long for now. Well, Archie, so long for now, till we meet again. Love you a bushel and a peck, and a hug around the neck.
As per his wishes, Archie will be cremated and there will be no services held. Memorials may be made to the First Church of Christ in Georgetown. Robison Chapel in Catlin is handling arrangements. On-line condolences at www.robisonchapel.com.
