He is survived by his only son, Jan. Archacki was born in a very small village located approximately 50 miles North of Warsaw, Poland known as Pieczyska.
In 1907, the same year Henry was born, his father, Jozef, left Poland for the American Mid-Western city of Chicago.
After he obtained his degree, he began writing for Chicago's Dziennik Związkowy (Alliance Daily News), focusing on its youth and sports pages.
[1] In the spirit of making ends meet during the Great Depression of the 1930s, Archacki began illustrating a cartoon strip entitled "Czy wiecie, że…" ("Do you know that…") in 1931.
The cartoons were fairly popular as they appealed to the United States' Polonia during the evolution of one of Poland's most stressful times in history; when the nation was independent, then occupied by the German Nazi regime, and then part of the Soviet bloc.
The cartoons were originally clipped, saved and scrapbooked by an unknown subscriber of Dziennik dla Wszystkich (Everybody's Daily), a Polish-language newspaper published in Buffalo, New York, during the mid-20th century.
Alongside writing and illustrating his popular cartoon strips, Archacki quickly rose to prominence in other Polish-American niches.
