Walter Archibald
On October 8, 2024 of Absecon. Age 90. Beloved husband of the late Lucia (nee Mulligan). Devoted father of Paul Archibald (Trish), Sandra Bloom, Marsha Archibald, Lisa McCall (Dan), and the late Mark Archibald. Loving grandfather of 9. Proud great-grandfather of 9. Dear brother of the late Barbara McKone, Francis Archibald, Carol Archibald, and Charles Archibald. Loved by nieces and nephews.
Walter (Dad) was a very intelligent man who seemed to soak up everything he ever read. He purchased the Farmer’s Almanac every year and could quote you a statistic on just about every subject known to man. Up until he became ill, he still had multiple newspapers delivered daily to his home and would read them cover to cover.
Walter was a New Englander through and through. He loved all the sports teams, but most specifically his Boston Red Sox. He enjoyed watching golf and oddly the Weather Channel. Walter was a huge Dr. Who fan who also enjoyed the British mysteries, with Midsomer Murders being his favorite. He also loved to travel, especially back home to the New England states to visit with family. It was well known to the family that Walter was a favorite uncle to many of his nieces and nephews.
Walter also had a great sense of humor and loved playing mind games on his grandchildren, who eventually figured out that Grampy was trying to pull one over on them. And they loved it just the same.
One of his all-time favorite TV shows was Married With Children. He got such a kick out of it and would laugh uproariously throughout the entire show.
Rest in peace dad, we pray you are with mom and Mark now. We will miss you always.
