Thank you for two wonderful children:  Matthew and Elizabeth. Madison and Mason (grandchildren) will know you through stories from your family. 

Puerto Rico was Pedro's home no matter where he lived.

Pedro enjoyed Frank's friendship since his days in the Navy.

I am Pedro's college friend.  My name is Ellen McGoogan Freeman Polk. We went to undergrad at St. Louis University.  I was good friends with him for years. We had many fun college times and after college we worked at waiters/waitress' until we found a job after graduation. We were friends during our getting married phase of life in our twenties. I remember going to bars in college with him and Nina; The Pub, Clark's, and later, Krueger's. 
We kept up when he was in the Navy. My husband visited Pedro and Nina in Norfolk when he was there for business.  We always kept in touch during those years when we needed each other.

I would love to talk to a loved one if someone wants to reach out to me.  I've met Maria Jose when she came to visit Pedro when he lived on Forsyth Blvd in St. Louis. I met Barb and Matthew when they and Pedro came to our house when they moved to St. Louis during his residency.  
Many memories of my friend.  I am sorry for your loss and all of our loss.  He was a good, great, kind, nice, funny, personable, professional, fashionable guy!  And now I know he was really neat after reading about him in the Navy!
Condolences on your loss everyone.  You were blessed as was I to have known Pedro Archevald!  Do a good job tomorrow in his honor!

 We will always remember Pedro’s humor and hospitality.  He was fun to be with and he will be missed.  Sending warm thoughts and prayers to the family! 

Pedro was our best neighbor and friend we ever had, he was always helpful, cheerful and a loving person. When we lose someone special like him, we will never forget them, but finding the words that truly reflects them is incredibly hard. Pedro’s memory is all we have left, but we will hold him in our hearts for ever. Gone but never forgotten.

This is how I choose to remember you, fun loving, happy, smiling, joking around, the life of the party!  You were such a big part of my life and I'll never forget the good memories we shared.  My heart is broken but I look forward to the day we'll meet again.  Love you always, Barb

Loved working with you at DDEAMC, parties at your house, socializing. Too many things to recount as it now brings sadness to my heart. I was to visit PR in 2020 and get together with you but COVID prevented that. I am sorry I didn’t get to see you. Rest In Peace my friend.🙏🏻😞 Pat

We first met Pedro while he was in his residency at St. Louis University Hospital. Later we attended his wedding to Barb in Radcliff, KY and visited him and Barb at various places where he was stationed. We enjoyed his humorous, industrious, and generous spirit. He was a great cook! Our condolences to his family who, with Pedro, is in our thoughts and prayers.
We wrote Pedro's name in the sky but the wind blew it away.
We wrote his name in the sand but the ocean washed it away.
We wrote his name in our hearts and there forever it will stay.

Pedro and I were roommates back in the mid 80s in our Navy days. He was the best roommate ever! For one, he could cook as well as any chef. He was expert at cooking meat. Two, he was a neat freak. The house was always in order, and I hardly had to lift a finger. Three, he had an authentic Latin American art collection that added an aura of class to us - a couple of ner-do-well Navy lieutenants. Four, his parties were the best. Tira la casa por la ventana! I learned than from Pedro. I will never forget you, my friend.

My heart goes out to the family. Archy was the first person to ever teach me how to swim I just can’t believe he’s gone you will be miss my man❤️

His unforgettable smile, kindness and loved for others, very humble. A great friend. Praying for him and his family.
