MUIR, Archibald
It is with great sadness that we announce Archie passed away peacefully, surrounded by his
family at Ross Memorial Hospital in Lindsay, Ontario, on Wednesday, June 12, 2019. He is
survived by his loving wife of 68 years, Jessie, and his son Peter (Cathy Muir), and daughters
Patti (Don Rand) and Nancy (Tom Grizzard); grandchildren Daryl and Sarah Milley (Michael
Morrison), Michael (Vicky Muir), and David (Melissa Muir); and great-grandchildren Zachary,
Jacob, Hannah, Evan and Avery Muir. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, on January 24, 1928.
Archie emigrated with his parents to Canada in 1932. He was proud of his Scottish heritage and
valued the simple life of the love of family and hard work. In his early years, he joined the Bank
of Nova Scotia in 1950 as an accountant, building a career and rising to Manager. In 1968,
Archie followed his entrepreneurial spirit and opened his Rent All business. After
retirement, he enjoyed many summers at his cottage, eventually moving to Fenelon Falls. He
loved boating and golf and was a long-time member at Sturgeon Point Golf Club. Archie was
warm and sincere, and known for his love of all things mechanical. He was always prepared to
help and relished the challenge of fixing anything, be it a lawn mower, car brakes, an outboard
motor, a leaky roof, or a hair dryer. He was truly a Jack of all trades. The family would like to
extend heartfelt thanks for the wonderful care he received from Dr. Shepherd and the
nursing staff at Ross Memorial Hospital. A funeral service will be held at Trentside Baptist
Church, 80 Colborne Street, Fenelon Falls on Tuesday, June 18 at 1:00 p.m. Visitation from
12:00 to 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to The Children’s Wish Foundation
of Canada or Ross Memorial Hospital can be arranged through JARDINE FUNERAL HOME, CREMATION & TRIBUTE CENTRE, 8 Princes’ St. W. Fenelon Falls.. To leave an online condolence, make a memorial donation or share a story please visit www.jardinefuneralhome.com
