Arch was born in Holt on November 5, 1945, son of Archie and Enid Lewis. He received his teaching degree from Michigan State University and briefly worked for Lansing Public schools. Arch later worked as a State Legislator, before moving to D.C. where he worked for the Trial Lawyers Association, and later Geneva.

With plans to retire in July, arch completed his career for MEA as their Retirement Director.

Arch was a proud father, active in his children’s activities, caring, and always had an open-door policy to friends and family. Arch enjoyed boating, golfing, reading, woodworking, and listening to Big Band music. He was well traveled, loved the theatre and visiting the lighthouses throughout Michigan.

Arch is survived by his children, Amy (David) Krugler, Christopher Lewis, and Aaron Lewis; step-daughter, Cara (Zach) Mitchell; grandchildren, Alexis and Lillianna Mitchell; and other close family members.
