Archie Andrew Flageolle, 92, formerly of Matheson, Colorado, passed away November 25, 2011, at home in Parker, Colorado. He was born Archie Andrew Flageolle on July 21, 1919, in Kirk, Colorado, the fourth of five children born to Pauline Loretta Wynn and William Henry Flageolle. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Richard, his sisters Pearl (Byrne) and Ruth (Brachtenbach, Robinson), his second wife Gloria, and his son Bill. He is survived by: his wife, Doris; his sister, Catherine; his four children -- daughters Andree, Bonnie, and Betty (Randy), and son Richard; his grandchildren-- Billy, Bjorn, Billy, Jennifer, Angela (Adrian), and Jx (Damian). His great-grandchildren -- Angelique and Eladio, Madison, Billy, Mya, Erin, Cole, Korbynn, and Paige. Archie is also survived by numerous step-children, step-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and friends. For Archie's first eleven years, he lived on the homestead near Vona, Colorado, and rode with his family in a two-horse buggy, 26 miles one way to Stratton each Sunday to attend church. As a young adult, he worked in the braided-hose department at Gates Rubber Company, then worked as an apprentice upholsterer, furniture deliverer, and driver. He once managed a grain elevator and owned a shoe repair shop before trying his hand at farming near Stratton. Archie sold the farm in 1947 and then worked with Denver Tramway as a tramway operator. Archie originally moved to Parker in 1953 and was a charter member of the Parker Lions Club and became a real estate agent with Flag Realty. His primary work, however, was as an electrical worker -from equipment operator to lineman to foreman with Union Power and Sturgeon Electric. He continued his membership with the IBEW Union Local 111 for over 55 years. Archie and Ruby Wood were married in 1944 and divorced in 1961. He was married to Gloria Angle (Mack) from 1965-1988. He married Doris Wood (Tanner, Porter) in 1988 and moved to Matheson where, briefly, he was a small-scale rancher with Dexter Cattle at his Rail's End Ranch. He regularly attended the Calhan Auction Sale where he made many friends. In October 2011, Archie returned to Parker, residing with his sister while receiving care from The Denver Hospice.
