Ernest Archibeque born on July 14, 1917 of Old Town, Albuquerque went into the arms of Jesus Christ on Saturday, September 29, 2007. Ernest was the most loving and caring husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and uncle. He was a happy soul who always had a smile on his face, a funny joke to share and a great story to tell. He never complained, not even in his last days . . . he would always say "I am muy bien". Ernest had a rare ability to make anyone he met a quick friend. The warmth and kindness of his heart touched everyone who knew him. He was truly loved and will be greatly missed.
