Frank C. "Arch" Archer, born in Salt Lake City on October 8, 1920 to Frank T. and Ella C. Archer, passed away peacefully with his family present on the evening of September 2, 2014 at the age of ninety-three. Preceded in death by both parents in 1957 and 1987 respectively.
After graduating from The University of Utah in June 1941, Arch entered the U.S. Army as part of the Field Artillery Unit in 1942 and married the love of his life, Shirley Rae Peterson, on August 28 of that same year.
Married for seventy-four years, Shirley and Arch were stationed throughout the country while Arch served in the Army and National Guard, taking them from Salt Lake City to San Rafael, Califronia; Columbia, South Carolina; Lawton, Oklahoma; and Fort Hood, Texas when Frank retired as a Lt. Col. In the National Guard in 1962.
He was stationed in Germany during World War II, where one of his orders was to protect the Cologne Cathedral.
In 1962, the Archer's returned to Salt Lake City for good with their three children.
After his military service, Arch spent a short time as a Stock Broker with J.A. Hogle & Co. before becoming a Securities Compliance Examiner with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission until his retirement in 1985.
During their retirement, Arch and Shirley spent a great deal of time traveling - their favorite destinations being Maui, Hawaii and Elko, Nevada to play golf.
When they were not traveling, they spent time with their children and grandchildren, and kept in touch with their many friends across the country.
Arch is survived by his wife, Shirley; children, Margaret, Frank (Robyn), and David (Donna); grandchildren, Kelly, Michael, and Jason and Stephanie and Alex, Ryan, and Clint; and nineteen great-grandchildren.
A private service for the family will be held on Friday, September 5, 2014 at Mount Olivet Cemetery.
