Archie Allen Westmiller, 87, of Weedsport, passed away March 30, 2022, at Auburn Community Hospital. Mr. Westmiller was born in Genoa on April 7, 1934, to the late John and Gertrude (Cummins) Westmiller. Archie was a graduate of Genoa Central School and Albany State Teachers College. While attending college, he joined the Army reserves and worked for the Armed Forces for 7 years. Archie was employed by Cato Meridian School as a teacher for 33 years before his retirement in 1990.
