He was a loving and caring father, grandfather and great-grandfather.  He will be missed, but his music survives on this web site.

Archie Kliewer has inspired and encouraged many by his singing and his rich tenor voice.  In the past, he was very famous in the Mennonite community and made significant contributions to the musical heritage of Tabor College in Hillsboro, Kansas.

He also has trained others for the music ministry at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville and at Belmont University in Nashville.  He has led the music ministry in various churches.

A huge selection of his beautiful and inspirational music has recently been rescued from oblivion and has been made freely available for all to enjoy at https://ArchieTenor.org.

ArchieTenor.org includes solos, duets and quartets.  Solos include The Lord’s Prayer, The 23rd Psalm, Then Shall The Righteous Shine and many others.

German selections include Die Almact, Seht was die Liebe Thut, Stille sein.
