Archie J. Carroll, 92, of Goshen, entered into rest peacefully of natural causes Friday, February 23, 2018 in Del Ray Beach, FL.

Archie was a lifetime resident of Goshen, born June 29, 1925, the son of Lester T. Carroll and Vera Slaughter Carroll.

He was an active member of the Dikeman Engine and Hose Company #3 in Goshen for 56 years. A charter member of the Al Turi Memorial Golf League as well as a member of Tuesday night Golf league at the Winding Hills Golf course. Everyone who played golf with him or against him loved the experience; because they knew they were in for something they would never forget, that made going to the 19th hole worth it.

The Dikeman fire company was a big part of his life and he loved selling his $100 tickets. He was loved and adored by all because of his fun loving attitude. He just kept it simple and never crossed anyone. Many have said he is absolutely the best there is and a true Goshen legend.
