Memories and Condolences
for Edward Armstrong
July 13, 2009
Dear Mickey, Sally, Marilyn and Carolyn, and Susie, as well as the rest of your family,
I was so saddened to read of Pete's passing in the KMC alumni news. I had just read not too long ago, an article about Pete in "The Shocker!" We go back a long way, and I am sorry that I did not get to Wichita to see all of you. We sold Mom's house a couple of summers ago, so we don't get to Wichita often. I always thought of all of you when I would take care of Mom and remember all our fun times on
Battin. Our two houses will always be ours in spirit!!
Love, Dee Dee Lohkamp Eccles

As a former employee of McA, I remember Pete Armstrong well, and in later years he would acknowledge me at events, including the polls I worked at elections. I'm glad for his tribute at last night's Music Theatre.

Dear Mickey and the Armstong girls. Just read of Pete's passing from my computer here in Omaha. My deepest condolences on his death. I have and will cherish many, many fond memories of Pete, the family (especially Miss Susie), the house on Battin and of course McCormick Armstrong. My love to you all.

Blessed to be a blessing. Pete, and his family, provided many of us with long careers in the printing industry. His tireless devotion to his employees allowed us the opportunity to support ourselves and provide for our families. He was a great man and we will miss him alot. Our prayers are with the family.

I had only met Mr. Armstrong a few months ago throught Junior Achievement. Even in that short time, I came to know that Pete understood people and had tremendous compassion and insight. He was the kind of guy that made us all better

When I got the news about Pete I was so sad. My heartfelt sympathy to you, Mickey and all the girls. How can I put in a few words what Pete meant to our family throughout the years? How can I express my love to all the Armstrongs? Words are not enough but know that my prayers are truly with you all. You Armstrong women had a great dad/husband. What a jewel and what a legacy!
Blessings and Love,
