It was my pleasure to have known Gus. He spoke highly of his family and always had a kind word for everyone. He fought a long, hard battle and my prayers are with his family.

Angela and Family:

My heart and prayers go out to you in this time of bereavement. Gus and I were co-workers at APS. As a member of Shiloh for many years, I later found out that he was also one of Mrs. Armstrong's children along with Dorothy and Clarence. Take care and God's blessings on all of you during this difficult time.

Love,

Denise Scarduzio

I am greatly blessed to have known such a lovely out-going man. Those of you that had the opportunity to know Mr. Armstrong, understand what I mean.

Having Mr. Armstrong as a husband, father, grandfather and a greatgrandfather are truely blessed. I also would like to share that when Mr. Armstrong and I would have our conversations one thing he would always talk about is his family, no matter what was going on he always talked good about them. One person that he spoke very highly of, was his lovely wife. Mrs. Peggy Armstrong was the diamond in his eyes. I say this only because when he spoke of Peggy he always had a sparkle in his eyes. I will truely miss my conversations with Mr. Armstrong, but I know that when ever I really need to talk to him he will be there, all I have to do is call on him. Remember that we may not see Mr. Armstrong, but he is always with us in our hearts. Mr. Armstrong, without a dout is our #1

golden angel.

May God Bless the Armstrong Family and you are always in our prayers.

With all our love and support, the Martinez Family.
