AUSTIN - Michael Allan Archenhold, 49, assistant producer for Austin City Limits, died peacefully Sunday morning, Nov. 14, 1999, at his residence.
Memorial service: 11:30 a.m. Thursday in the small sanctuary at Beth-El Congregation. Rabbi Ralph Mecklenburger will officiate. Mike chose cremation; his cremated remains will be scattered in the Austin area. Visitation: Following the service, the family will receive friends at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Archenhold.
Memorials: For those desiring, donations may be made to the New Temple Building Fund, Beth-El Congregation, or to a charity of choice.
Born May 5, 1950, in Fort Worth, Michael Allan Archenhold was the son of Rudolph C. and Helen Ginsburg Archenhold. His mother died this year in February.
Mike was a 1968 graduate of R.L. Paschal High School and received a degree in radio, television and film from the University of Texas at Austin in 1972. Although he moved briefly to Corpus Christi from 1972-73, he returned to live in the easy pace of south Austin.
His life was marked by a devotion to absurdist humor. He was a founding member of the Tomato Hubris for Wit and Wisdom and participated in the planning and staging of numerous satirical public theater events. As an assistant producer of Austin City Limits, as well as one of the program's original camera operators, Mike combined his love of traditional music and his widely admired skill in operating a television studio camera.
Because of Mike's love of the outdoors, he traveled throughout the American West with his friends. An ardent environmentalist and supporter of causes benefiting humanity and nature, Mike gave generous support to programs relieving hunger and restoring America's wilderness places.
When cancer became a factor in life's challenges, Mike faced it with dignity and with his typical foresight and planning. He will be missed, not only in Austin, but in Fort Worth as well.
Mike's friends will gather in Austin to recount stories about him and his many kindnesses at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 21, at Mercury Hall, 615 Cardinal Lane at South First Street.
Survivors: Father, R.C. Archenhold of Fort Worth; brothers, Bob Archenhold and his wife, Susan, of Fort Worth and Ralph Archenhold of Portland, Ore.; longtime friend and companion, Barbara Baskin of Austin; surrogate mother, Lillian Storey of Fort Worth; surrogate brother, Jon E. Narum of Austin; and his cat, Lulu.
