In memory of Archie Francis Wassberg, born February 17, 1938, died December 18, 2021 at St. James Healthcare in Butte, MT. Archie was born to Arther Wassberg and Katrine Wassberg (Peck) in Butte, MT. He was raised in Butte and Whitehall.  He met his wife, Vicky Wassberg, and they were married June 19, 1965 and started their family.  They had three boys together: Arthur Wassberg, James Wassberg, and Douglas Wassberg.  In 1971, they moved to Whitehall. Archie served our country in the Army and then became an underground miner. He and Vicky divorced in 2005 but remained good friends. He enjoyed construction, hunting, fishing, and the outdoors. He also greatly enjoyed his grandchildren.

Archie is survived by his children Jr. (Shirley), Jim, Doug (Stormy), grandchildren and great grandchildren.
