so sorry to see this.

Yesterday, we celebrated the life and tributes of our dear old friend Warren Armstrong. For those who knew Warren, either while becoming of age, or later in life, will remember his witty humor, practical jokes, or his contagious laugh. Warren's pension for fun and laughter would forever be his identity trademark. Although Warren enjoyed a good laugh, he was endowed with exceptional intelligence, bravery and unparalleled integrity. Warren served in the US Marines with valor and honorable distinction in service to our nation, but his endless humility never revealed his courageous demeanor.

Warren and Nancy fell in love on their very first date, raised two wonderful sons, Jeffery and Jeremey, which Warren was exceedingly proud of. My deepest condolences to the entire Armstrong family, especially Jeffery and Jeremey.

Today I deeply mourn the passing of my old friend Warren, and trust Nancy and Warren will be reunited in Haven, and may their journey throughout Haven be one of eternal happiness.

God bless you.

Your old pal,

Bill (Willie) Temple

Mrs. Armstrong and Family, My deepest condolences to all who loved this amazing man. It has been awhile since I had seen you and all the family. Then when we met up with each other, it was like yesterday ! That´s how I´ll remember you! Mostly I´ll miss your quick wit, extraordinary sense of humor and laughter. Most importantly the love you had given. You were my reason for joining the military, you were a hero to me. I´ll miss you and will never forget you. Rest In Peace !

Warren was the best, I couldn't have asked for a better brother-in-law. He will be missed by his whole family. He was the go to person for whatever even if it was just a laugh you would get it from him. Many chats, good times, he is singing his favorite song Wooly Bully and dancing with Nancy. May they both RIP. Love you both!

O God, by whose mercy the faithful departed find rest, look kindly on Warren who lived his life in the service of his nation and in love for his family.
