Wow, what an amazing service. You all did a fabulous job, while there were tears, there was certainly more laughs. I remember when I was young, Uncle Archie used to terrify me with his gruff, loud voice 🤣. I was always scared in case I got in trouble!
Apologies we never got to sign the book today as they had gone by the time we got back inside.
Love and special hugs to you all.
Beautiful service, will always remember Archie for his bubbly personality, his warm open heart. Always able to have a chat with Archie when I would see them on the 4×4 course, always had a hug and asked about the family. Will be missed but know you are 4 wheeling and strumming your guitar wherever you are. RIP Archie
Dearest Linda and family,
Sorry not to be with you but thank you for sharing the beautiful remembrance service.
It was a pleasure and honor to know Archie, he definitely touched peoples lives in a very special way and I am grateful for the time shared whilst at Summerset. We shall miss him terribly but will always remember the good times which will keep me smiling.
Our love to you all

Sorry for your loss Linda. Watched the service on line. Was very good. Great to hear the many memories of Archies life. He was a top bloke.
Even though we cannot be there with you all, you are forever in our hearts. We are so sorry for the loss of Archie as he always brought the smiles and cheekiness to every family occasion. Thinking of you today Linda and all the family. Sending you love and hugs xxxx
So sorry I couldn’t be there for your final send off. Every time I see a ukulele and 4×4 trials I’ll be thinking of uncle Archie, RIP 😭 sending my love to everyone
Sad to hear of the passing of Mr Griffin (Archie). Such fun memories of old Hinuera days. He was always such a laugh. Condolences to Mrs Griffin(Linda), Raymond, Christine and family. Melanie Hawke
