Conrad William "Bill" Archibeck Bill Archibeck, a beloved
Jun. 7—Conrad William "Bill" Archibeck Bill Archibeck, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away on May 26, 2025. He was born on September 22, 1937, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at Women & Children's Hospital. A proud native son, Bill deeply loved his hometown and its people. He spent the majority of his life in Albuquerque raising a family, working hard, serving his community, and making hundreds of friends along the way. He spent his youth in the valley with his parents Conrad and Mary Louise Archibeck, two brothers Phillip and Lewis and his sister Marilyn, dozens of cousins, and many friends from Saint Mary's High School that he kept in touch with throughout his life. Married to his devoted wife, Ellie, since 1961, Bill was blessed with four daughters: Sally, Mary Jo, Jill, and Missy. He cherished time with family and friends, especially over a game of cards, a round of golf, or a shared meal. Whether enjoying dinner at the Pelican, telling a good joke, or raising a glass of wine in good company, Bill was known for his warmth, laughter, and generous spirit. He will be remembered for his sharp wit, steady guidance, mischievous one-sided grin when he was up to something, and enduring love. Bill spent 36 years in banking, first with First National Bank of Albuquerque and later with First Community Bank, where he helped countless local businesses secure the support they needed to grow. Well respected in the business community, Bill was known for his honesty, professionalism, and friendly working relationships. He was also deeply committed to civic life. Bill was active in the Hispano Chamber of Commerce, the Albuquerque Convention and Visitor's Bureau, and was a longtime, dedicated member of the Kiwanis Club of Albuquerque. He served the Kiwanis in many roles, board member, club president, and Lieutenant Governor always striving to make service meaningful and fun. His presidential project led to the creation of a shaded picnic area for bus travelers near the Albuquerque Aquarium. He also brought joy to club members by inviting Meadowlark Lemon of the Harlem Globetrotters as a guest speaker, sparking enthusiasm. In recognition of his extraordinary commitment, Bill received the prestigious Hixson Fellowship in 2000 and a Special Service Award in 2015. Bill is survived by his loving wife of 64 years, Mary Ellen "Ellie" Archibeck; his daughters and sons-in-law: Sally and Wayne Matheu of Baltimore, Maryland; Mary Jo and Ross Nettles, Jill Beets, and Missy Archibeck, all of Albuquerque. He is also survived by his beloved grandchildren: Stephanie Dawson, Katherine Dawson, Devon Beets, Emily and Jacob Thordahl, and their son, Jones Thordahl; Madison Beets, Jack Matheu, and Lauren Matheu. Bill is also survived by his siblings: Phillip Archibeck of Albuquerque; Lewis and Connie Archibeck of Scottsdale, Arizona; and Marilyn Romero of Prescott Valley, Arizona. He is lovingly remembered by his sister-in-law, Anne Bonney of Carlsbad, New Mexico; his brother-and sister-in-law, Joe and Ann Bradley of Phoenix, Arizona; and by many extended family members who mourn his passing. A celebration of Bill's life will take place Wednesday, June 11, 2025, at John XXIII Catholic Community, 4831 Tramway Ridge Dr NE, Albuquerque, NM 87111 with a rosary at 10:00 a.m. followed by a funeral Mass. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made in Bill's honor to the Kiwanis Club of Albuquerque Charitable Foundation at or P.O. Box 21517, Albuquerque, NM 87154.

Plumbing nonprofit repairs veteran sober living home for free
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – It's crucial to stick to a routine and be in a safe space if you are recovering from addiction. Having to move away from a sober living home, after a simple plumbing problem, could cause a relapse. A group of plumbers are making sure veterans can stay on their mission. 'This is their home. This is their sanctuary,' said Chase Drake, who owns and operates The Valor House. On Wednesday, plumbers fixed a costly repair at the sober living home. The Valor House is a safe space for veterans to combat addiction. NBA refurbishes Boys & Girls Clubs of Oklahoma County The best part is, this repair is on the house. Drake is a recovering veteran himself. 'These guys are depending on me. I'm here for them. But, I'm also here for my mother,' said Drake. Right now, his mother is on Hospice Care. Last week, he took a break away from caring for her to care for his tenants. That's when he found out there was a plumbing issue while someone was doing the dishes. 'He was like, 'It's really nice that you guys have heated floors here,'' said Drake. 'We do not have heated floors. We felt the floor. It was hot. Immediately, I knew we had a slab leak.' A rush of water under the concrete caused a rush of panic. Then, more chaos. Drake had to call an ambulance for his mother while getting a quote from Stacey Coe with Coe Plumbing. 'He was talking fast,' said Coe. She remembers the phone call. The army veteran herself was touched by Drake's work. It just so happens, she and a group of plumbers just started the nonprofit United Partnership of Plumbing Contractors to provide help for free. 'We decided to form a group so we could do it collectively and help more veterans and help more elderly,' said Coe. Brandon Stanley, of Stanley Plumbing Services, is also part of the nonprofit. 'They've given their time to serve our country and we feel like it's our obligation to give back to them,' said Stanley. After the phone call, Coe texted Drake that the repair was completely free. A repair that she said would normally cost around $2,700. 'I just texted him to keep helping veterans,' said Coe. 'I was in tears. I mean, I was like, overwhelmed. I didn't even know what to say. Took me a minute to respond,' said Drake. Drake said this repair can save his tenants' sobriety. If they had to relocate for hot water, it could cause them to relapse. 'Maybe they're at a hotel. They see an old friend. They see something they wanted before. I mean, there's a lot of potentials that could happen there,' said Drake. It's not just stopping water from flowing, it's about stopping addiction from resurfacing. 'Everybody in this house is somebody's son, somebody's daughter, somebody's dad, somebody's mom,' said Stanley. This was the United Partnership of Plumbing Contractors first repair under the nonprofit. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
