Blue was born on November 14, 1923, to parents James and Irene (Rector) Archer. Although a quiet- natured man, he loved music and dancing. He enjoyed reading along with fishing and traveling. Graduating from Norfolk schools, he was a proud player when their basketball team took the state title in 1942. Blue was also very proud of his family. He believed in our country and was very patriotic. He honorably served in WWII as a pilot and loved to fly planes. He served in the Army Air Corps for three years and then two and a half years in the Army Reserve. Throughout his lifetime, he worked as a carpenter and contractor in the Cushing area. Blue is preceded in death by his parents; his wife Doris Laverne (Skinner) Archer; two sons-in-law, Fred Butcher and Larry Dawes; two brothers, George Eldin Archer & Billy Lew Archer; and his great grandchild Braiden Dawes.
