My family and I have been spending several months each year in Rehoboth Beach for over 30 years. Our “go to” place at the beach was always Lingo’s Market, and Archie was our “go to” guy. We became fast friends with Archie, and were blessed with that friendship that lasted for years. As the years passed, Archie and Annick were married and Annick became a welcomed and beloved friend as well. She was Archie’s partner in every sense of the word. They were a dynamic duo!

My wife and I are back in Rehoboth Beach again this month to celebrate our anniversary, as we’ve done every June for 30+ years. (This is our59th.) We missed the last two years because of the pandemic, but we’re back now. Archie is not here, and our hearts are heavy over his absence. We loved Archie and are grateful for every moment we spent with him. We love Annick, and we’re so thankful for the love and care she gave Archie to the very end. We’ll miss Archie forever, and we wish God’s richest blessings on you, Annick.

I have many fond memories of Archie over the decades at his market. With his passing Rehoboth Beach has lost a part it’s history and character. He was the only one that I would let make my daily sandwiches which were accompany by far ranging conversations that made my day. He is greatly missed Our condolences to Annick and family.

I remember Archie so well from Lingo's Market. Friday nights people would be lined up ordering steaks, chops, lobsters, and they all wanted to see Archie. I liked him. Godspeed, and condolences to Annick.

I met Archie in the 50's in Rehoboth Beach. We shared our passion for cars and good times. He always remembered my birthday with a smile and a card. Archie was kind and thoughtful. He enjoyed making new friends and keeping old friends. Rest in peace my friend

Archie was the guy people came to see at Lingo's Market. Friday evenings would see homeowners in for the weekend coming for steaks, chops, and seafood, and they all wanted to see Archie. That is how I shall remember him. Many days I stopped at the new store just to visit with him as you see in the photo. He loved Rehoboth, loved the store. Godspeed, my friend. Condolences to Annick and the family.

Archie was a friend of our family for over 65 years. I worked at Lingo’s Market back in the 50’s and later my son's did as their summer job. When he could Archie shared his on the job experiences as a River Boat Pilot with me. Our family had many happy days at Archie’s home on the Rehoboth Bay when all our children were young. Archie has been very lucky to have his close friend Bobby Yarnal and his wife by his side for so many years.

Another Rehoboth graduate, one of the good guys, has departed. Archie was always a gentlemen and had a friendly word to share. We loved the market when we were in town and lived on Lake Avenue. Don and Sue Messick

I always enjoyed seeing him at the store. Whether he was in a good mood ( which did happen) or a bad mood (often when something went wrong with a customer or supplier) it was always a treat to hear his take on certain things. He would always guide me for the best crabmeat or fresh veggies and fruit or tell me to wait for better. He was a unique part of Rehoboth and I will miss him as I have the past few years.
