John U. Archambault

John Ulric Archambault, age 64, of Groveland, MA, died unexpectedly on November 4, 2026, at his home.

Born in Haverhill, MA, on July 15, 1962, he was the son of the late Calvin Prosper Archambault and Olive Emily Smith. He was a graduate of Whittier Regional Vocational Technical High School, where his natural mechanical ability and skill quickly became apparent. John went on to work at James F. Mullen, where he was an exceptional welder, working on jet engine parts.

John was remarkably talented with his hands and seemed able to fix, build, or repair just about anything. Whether welding, working with machinery, or taking on a project that needed to be figured out, he had an instinctive understanding of how things worked and the ability to bring ideas to life.

The wonderful memories John shared with his family and friends will always be remembered by his son, Adam Gilson; his daughter, Nicole Archambault; his three brothers, David Archambault, Calvin Archambault, and Raymond Archambault; his sister, Nancy Wharton; his granddaughter, Mya Brown; along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends. He was predeceased by his brother, Steven Archambault, and his sister, Kathryn Smith.

Family and friends are invited to attend a Graveside Service on Friday, November 13, 2026, at 1:00 P.M. at Walnut Cemetery in Haverhill.

Donations in John’s memory may be made to Templeton Developmental Center in Baldwinville, MA.
