Not sure what to say?

My deepest sympathies to the Armenta Family. Mr. Armenta was a class act and such a kind man. My mom and I would always see him at the Odessey Restaurant and he always greeted us with a hug and kiss. My dad was very saddened by the passing of his dear friend and classmate.

Dear Family; Al was a wonderful guy, who will be missed by many. He was always upbeat, and his stories would brighten up the room he was in. May the peace of the Lord comfort you all. Love, Mike and Vickie

I met Mr. Armenta many years ago through his son, Mark. He was always enjoyable to be around. That trait still continues with Mark. Our prayers are with you and your loved ones throughout this difficult time.

Al was a great friend of my late parents Marce and Jeanne Gonzalez and was a shoulder to me during their illnesses. He had a love of life and great spirit and will be missed.May he rest in peace.

Remembering Fonse. Al and I worked together for awhile at USSteel when I first started there in 1959. Blessings to the family.

I am so saddened to hear of Mr. Armenta's passing. He and my father were very good friends, and I remember seeing him often at the government center when I worked for my father. I'll remember his warm smile and his genuine happiness when he saw you. Even as recently as my father's wake and having not seen Mr. Armenta in almost 12 years, I was greeted with that smile. May he rest in peace. He will be truly missed.

Sincerely,
Denise (Orlich) Kangrga

Fonse was truly "one of a kind". It was always a pleasure to be in his company, sharing laughs and stories about days gone by. After having the great honor of getting to know him over the past couple of years, it's no mystery why he was loved by so many. He was a natural "people person" and brought smiles to all he knew and encountered. I'm so thankful for the time we shared together. He will be missed each and every day.
