Logan, Utah: Archie C. Pyle 86, died on July 7, 2004 at the Terrace Grove Assisted Living Center in Logan, Utah. He was born on December 30, 1917 in Opal, Wyoming. Archie was the son of Guy Everett and Anna Matilda Thompson Pyle.

He attended Ellis Elementary and South Cache Jr. and Senior High. He married Edith Hawley. Together they raised four children, Bonnie Lee Allen (Oakland, CA), Ronald Dee Pyle (Castledale, UT), Myrna Dell Samsel (Logan, UT) and Wendel Guy Pyle and wife Linda, (Roanoke, VA). Edith and Archie divorced and he later married Erla Nannangay. Both Edith and Erla died in 1978.

He was preceded in death by his two sisters, Wanita K. Besuch, Leona Margaret Matlock and two brothers, Everett Dale Pyle and Neil William Pyle. He has one brother living, Edwin Guy Pyle, Hyrum, Utah.

Archie worked for the Hansen Motor dealership as an autobody man for many years. He then decided to start his own business and opened Pyle Autobody and Paint. He loved the outdoors with hunting, fishing, camping and boating. His friends claimed that he never had to shoot a deer, because he ran them to death. This spring his son Ronald took him fishing and he caught the second largest walleye fish in the state of Utah.

Archie was a 32nd degree Mason and belonged to the Shriners and The Order of Eastern Star. He has requested that there will be a graveside service performed by the Masons and Eastern Star organizations. The service will be held at the Logan City Cemetery on Monday, July 12, 2004 at 1:00 p.m. in the Southwest section of the cemetery. Friends and family are welcome to join us in saying farewell to a truly great man.

He will be missed greatly by his many friends, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Arrangements by Allen-Hall Mortuary, Logan, Utah.
