Dr. Armstrong was one of my favorite Professors at BU Dental. I still speak of him fondly to my patients to this day! One day, he said to me, "you are a good dentist! Now let me make you a great dentist!" I like to think that he is the reason I am a great dentist today! He will always be thought of with the highest regard! Godspeed, Dr. Armstrong!

Dear Armstrong Family,
My husband met Dr. Armstrong when he was a small boy, back in the 60s'. For the last 20 years I have been with my husband, he has said nothing short of praise, deep respect appreciation and a strong love for his father's dear and closest friend.
Dr. Armstrong will be missed terribly. My fondest memory of him, will be his perennial smile, one that stays with you for a lifetime. Thank YOU, Dr.Armstrong for being part of our lives.
May God Bless you and rest your soul.
With our love,
Eon and family.
