I had the pleasure of working with and getting to know Archie Lantz while working at McKinnon Law Firm. He was a very bright and kind gentleman. He spent his life working on to serve others and I hope I can do the same. Rest in peace Archie. I will always treasure you.

I have worked with Archie for the last 6 1/2 years and he was always a bright spot in my day weather he was singing a song he made up about one of our staff or just helping all of us with the amazing amount of knowledge he had. He will be missed dearly at the McKinnon Law Firm.
