My condolences to the family.

I worked with Archie for many years. He was a reliable and tender human being. As a coworker, you knew you can rely on him to back you up. Very good and kind hearted man. R.I.P.

I was just talking with an old coworker and friend about Archie days ago. It’s been years since we both worked at MUSC, but Archie was the kind of person you remember. Always kind, always reliable, just a solid human being with a bright smile. We all loved him. We knew any situation would be handled safely, respectfully, and with compassion. Archie was the kind of person that you just felt better when he was around. He will be greatly missed by everyone lucky enough to have known him.

Rest Easy, My Friend.

Archie, my heart breaks. You were one of a kind. When I met you many, many years ago in IOP, I would have never thought that we would end up friends. Thanks for the many years of friendship and laughs. There were days when I was feeling down and you always had a way to make me smile. Thank you for bringing so much joy to so many people. My heart and prayers go out to the Reid family. I pray that God gives you continuous comfort.

Rip Deacon Archie you were good worker and friend to me I am in tears and shocked sleep well

My sincere condolences to the Reid Family. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of one of His servants. For in their passing, He welcomes them home." Sending prayers for Archie's family and friends.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Archie, and his leadership had a profound impact on my professional and personal life.

Thank you for loving my daughter Terri like she was part of the family she was only allowed a few places and your house was one after she met Terrence . Rest in power Archie you are now with your other loved ones ❤❤❤❤

I’m going to miss you Archie. Wonderful Dad, husband and just all around family man. Of course I met you through your son Terence and became like a second family to me. RIP Til we meet again.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always. May God fill your weakndess with His power.

As a former co-worker, I am saddened by Archie’s passing. He was a wonderful, kind person. Thoughts and prayers for his family.

Archie was a wonderful guy, great family man, an outstanding leader and team member at work and role model. Condolences to the family.

I was thinking about Archie today and wanted to add a note, I was on a Committee with him and each meeting as we introduced ourselves, Archie sometimes introduced himself "Denzel Washington" with a small smile and twinkle...which made me laugh Every time! He often made us laugh on the unit, even Donna Green as she was working away.I'm sure Donna knows he likes to work and will give him an assignment when she greets him. Humor is good for the Soul as he knew.This was Archie.

I worked at the Institute of Psychiatry and remember Archie fondly. He always had that beautiful smile and a kind word. His lovely spirit made everyone's day brighter. Prayers for all who grieve the loss of Archie to feel God's peace and be comforted with sweet memories of that wonderful man.
Warmly,
Meredith Bates

I first met Archie at CAFB when he was the First Sergeant of Civil Engineering Squadron. He was always friendly and devoted in his job. Later, I encountered him at MUSC during my husband's many visits there. He always was very helpful when I was there late and asked how we were doing. A gracious and comforting man.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

When I was a Nurse at MUSC and called for assistance ,Archie and his crew appeared quickly and you knew things were to improve and everyone was safe Archie always checked on everyone and had a smile with funny or uplifting words . Always there for everyone . He will be loved here and there.

I offer my sincere condolences to the family of Archie Reid. Archie was truly a mentor to myself and many other workers in the MUSC Security Department.

I worked with Archie at MUSC. He certainly was a very fine gentleman, always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. The world has lost someone truly special.

It is with profound sadness and great grief to hear of the home going of my friend and fellow service member Archie Reid. May God give peace to the family as they bereave their loss.

Our prayers and condolences to your family during this time of loss

Archie was a friend and mentor to many and will be sadly missed.
Prayers and God's peace to the family.
Rest In Paradise, sir.

To My Brother In Christ, Deacon Archie L. Reid.
The Lord blessed you into my presence on a cool October day.
With a pleasant smile, you asked, how are you doing today.
But now the time has come to say goodbye, something that is hard for me to say.
With your kindness, you touched my heart inside.
I will truly miss that smile that you had, that was so bright and wide.
I was blessed to watch your walk in Christ, every day.
I know it's God's “Perfect Will” that He has called you home, this past Sunday.
Down in my heart, from here to the sky.
You are taking steps, with wings to fly.
My Brother, I am so proud of all that you are.
And you will always be our spiritual shining star.
Your last day at God’s Faithful Servant, is finally here.
I know everyone is sad, which is perfectly clear.
My Big Brother, I'm not good at saying goodbye's and you know why.
But it's time to spread your precious wings, because it's time to fly. Forever Your Brother In Christ And Friend.

Deacon James “JB” Brown. (Former Co-Worker, MUSC, Hospital Safety And Security).

We send our deepest condolence to the family. Archie was such a kind man with a gentle spirit and he will sincerely be missed.

I was stationed with Archie at Griffiss AFB, Rome New York. He was well liked and a professional airman. We were on opposing basketball teams. Archie was a great basketball player. I still have a newspaper clipping with Archie's name on it. Rest in peace my brother your long time friend Juan Jennings

My condolences to your family and my brother in law clearance prayers for you all God bless

I had the pleasure of working with Archie for years before I retired from MUSC Psychiatry. He was a professional colleague and a friend. My husband worked for Berkeley County Schools and we would always talk about football, Berkeley County characters and have great laughs. He was a consummate professional, took great care of his people at work and kept us safe, was so caring,and had a great sense of humor.

Godspeed sir, you will be welcomed honorably at Heaven’s Door.

May God bless Archie's soul and grant his family comfort during this very difficult time.

Where do I begin?? Mr. Archie was "the man" at MUSC as he was a supervisor for the Public Safety Department. Mr. Archie had a stern look, but professional and more importantly a man of God! When my mother transitioned he and his team gave me a card, and the smile he gave..that is one thing that Mr. Archie wore regardless made my day! I was so hurt and couldn't concentrate for the remainder of yesterday as I received the news of his transition. Mr. Archie was truly missed walking the halls and units of IOP after his retirement....the hospital hallways period! When he wore his uniform, he wore it with honor and knowing that he had a job to do! I could only imagine the reunion of his spouse and his sons, ( and remained strong with his relationship with God!) as well as his ...parents. Well Mr. Archie..as you would say to me when entering the unit when you were needed..."Trouble I know you did it!!" You have a new address, a new uniform, and a new badge to wear! Go and take y our rest!!! You will truly, truly be missed! To his children, family members...Mr. Archie was loved!!!! To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord! Servant of God....well done!

My sincere heartfelt condolences to Archie's entire family. Are was a true man of God and a leader. Had the pleasure of working with Archie at MUSC for several years and he always had a outstanding candor and personality. Rest in God's power Deacon Reid.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Rest In Peace Top! Thank you for taking care of young Airmen. You laid the foundation that allowed us to grow into warriors and leaders of today. You will be missed but never forgotten! Col Rob Moore...we have got the watch, rest easy .

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

My deepest condolences goes out to the family for the loss of such a fine gentleman. I had the fortune of knowing him from working at MUSC over the years. He was good to talk to and would always take the time to talk to those in need of advice and counsel. May he rest in peace...
