Will always be thankful for the good memories and his kind heart. One time, he sat down with a few of my friends and let us try every cheese he owned. It was awesome! :) He will be missed.

My deepest condolences go out to Immediate family and my Tia Cecilia. I wanna say a few words about Armin, as he was a very important person in my life. I thank god for him, he was a kind hearted man who took the responsibility of raising me and my sister from a young age, he took us in, and gave us the best life possible because he saw how bad we were struggling. Armin was just more than a uncle to me he is the only real father figure I had growing up as a teenager. He pushed me to to good in school, sports, and thought me how to work for my money. I loved going to work with him at Argo hytos! he was such a good role model for me I'm glad I stayed following in his footsteps or I would not be the man I am today. I regret these last couple of years since I left Ohio,I had lost contact with him but God know I will never forget this wonderful man. I know he is in heaven now watching all over his loved ones he will be forever in my heart and I will cherish all the good times we had together. I love you Armin. Rest in peace

My Tio Armin was a wonderful man. He had a very big heart. He took me and my brother in as if we were his own children. I thank him for that because i dont know where i would be right now. If it wasnt for him i wouldnt be the woman I am today. He was a respectable man. I loved his cooking !! He would make the best german food ever! I will never forget the big keigs of beer he would get for his soccer games when they would come on t.v. He would always give good advise in sports, cooking, baking, and in relationships. He was such a hard working man he would come home from work and right away start working on the house that is now a beautiful home..even made me my own room. He loved his family so much. My tio will dearly be missed he will forever be in my heart❤ prayers and condolences to family.

Ich liebe dich!!

I am so sorry about the news of Armin passing away. The last time I saw him he was sitting in his small office full of paper and action! He has done great work for our company and me as the president of ARGO-HYTOS US. We are very thankful for his contribution and like to keep him in our memories how busy he was and how much he liked the job to serve his customers right. He had a big heart!

My thoughts go to his family: God bless you!
