Not sure what to say?

Your father was a long time customer of the Peninsula Coop and we all looked forward to his visits to the Cardlock office. He always arrived with a smile and left us laughing in his wake. We always felt better after a visit from Bill. He was an amazing man, and very generous of heart. We will miss him greatly.

Bill leaves so much more behind than an epitaph on a tombstone or an obituary in a newspaper. Indeed his unconditional kindness, his absolute charm and the never ending ‘twinkle’ will be missed. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Armstrong Family.

Bill epitomized the expression "with a twinkle in his eye." His sly sense of humor and wonderful openess to everyone was outstanding. He will always be remembered to those of us in Waterton who appreciated and witnessed his many qualities. We would like to think that he and Bea are together again here in Waterton now, doing whatever they please in a place they loved so well.

He always brought us lollipops at the RDI office. We will miss him greatly.

Bill will be missed by all the neighbours and friends around the Lancelot Place area where he would frequently keep us entertained . Our thoughts are with his family . Jim ,Susan,& Chase galvin

Sharing a Laugh at a recent celebration

Bill will be greatly missed. He was always quick with a smile and a joke and always wanted to make you smile. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to know him.

Uncle Bill was a gem and a great raconteur -- we will miss his stories and songs, his love and his positive outlook on the world. Thoughts go especially to Laurie, Barbie and Gordie and their families.

My very deepest condolences to the Armstrong family. Such a character, I will never forget him!
