Jan, Susie, Scott and Family, words cannot express how broken hearted I am over the passing of Mr. Archie. The McCauley's were a hugh part of my life growing up and once all of us kids left, Miss Jane and Mr. Archie were there keeping my elderly parents company. Mr. Archie was a hugh factor in my Daddy's later life and for that I am eternally gratefull. I have wonderfull memories growing up next door and will cherish them always. I am so thankful I got to sit down and chat with Mr. Archie and Jan the last time I was in Beaumont. I loved you Mr. Archie and Miss Jane with all my heart.....may you both rest in peace now.

Archie was a great supervisor at the old Complex in the Beaumont Refinery. He helped many young engineers who had any work on the Hydrocracker. My condolences to the family.
