Archie C. Pyle
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.
