Dear Great Auntie Olga and the family,
Great Uncle Archie was such a fun loving, sweet man. I remember his group Archie and the Boys. I can still see him at the Southside Park where we would have our Klassen Family Reunions in Swift Current, and it's true there would be food with Roll Kucken, Watermelon, and Roger's Golden Syrup served, with laughter, music and stories! I left S.C. in 1992, and I was working in Regina at the Agribition there around 1996 and I saw this man and I knew him and then it hit me...Uncle Archie! So I went up to him but not sure if he would remember me...but he did. I was Cameron, Fern's son....and we shook hands and talked a bit. It was so nice to see family! And since then I would bump into him whenever I was in SC at family functions. Last time I saw him and Olga was at the late Auntie Erla and Uncle Harry Friesen's 50th wedding anniversary celebration, on Erla's famous back deck. Yes it is true we shall see him and all the loved ones gone before. Watching his service online was a pleasure. My love, sympathy, and hugs to all of you. Even though many of us descend from the different Klassen siblings (me from Archie's eldest sister Katie Klassen), I can tell we are family because of the way they were raised by their parents A.R.D Klassen and his wife Margaret Braun. People that loved and served God, and were humble and loving to those that crossed their paths. Rest in Peace dear Great Uncle Archie!!
Your great nephew,
Cameron Longo

for Wade, Sharilyn and family,
What sad news to hear of Archie's passing. I know it's bittersweet as his eternity is secure, but as the wonderful man he was, he will be missed greatly. Thinking of you all during this difficult time.

I send my deepest sympathies to Olga and all of family. He was a wonderful uncle who I always deeply respected and trusted and had great affection for. I haven’t see him much lately but I will miss him, knowing that he is not here, a wonderful caring soul.
Condolences to all of Archie’s children and all of their children, etc. I know you will all miss him very much. God bless you all.

Dear Olga and Family, My prayers are with you all at this sad time. Knowing Archie has been a joy to me though I only knew him a few short years. Making music with him on Fridays at the Manor, and occasionally with "The Boys" was pure joy. I will never forget his patience with my inexperience and his constant encouragement. Archie will be sorely missed here in Herbert and everywhere he brought his music to brighten the days. My sincere sympathy to you all on the sad loss of this wonderful man.

Dear Aunt Olga and cousins,
We are very sad when we think of your and our loss - but then we remember that it's just a temporary separation. What a Blessed Hope we have! But for now we grieve with you, even as we pray that the God of all Comfort will surround you. We do not grieve as those who have no hope. As Dad, Archie's brother said, when Mom died, "With one eye we cry and with one eye we rejoice!" May God become more intimate and personal to you than ever before. We love you!

Auntie Olga & family,
Our hearts are broken, & we’re so sad for you in your time of grief. Uncle Archie was “one in a million”, a gentleman and a “gentle man” through and through. It was such a delight when you met; seeing you smile, seeing the happiness he brought to your life. He was so devoted to you, and the life you shared, the adventures you had, were a source of amazement for all of us. Uncle Archie will be deeply missed, and always remembered for the fine, honorable, humble family man that he was. Marcy & I are so sorry for your loss
