Mrs. Armstrong, Harry, Bud(thats what we used to call him), Gwen, Sharon and Ronald. Your father has gone to a better place. I remember when we used to play as kids in your back yard, and Mr. Armtrong would come outside on the back porch every often and check on us, and make sure David and Gwen were not fighting(HAHA). Those were the good old days. He was always so calm and quite never really got upset. You guys stay strong and GOD BLESS.

you made my years at the Ford Glass Plant more bearable. when i was, sometimes, feeling i could no longer take it, you would show up on your buggy and flash that big famous armstrong smile at me. on rare occasions, you had time to stop and invite me to sit for a moment beside you. i remember how frustrated tyree vaughan would get. he would zoom his hi-lo up to a intercom phone and start ranting and raving,"let her do her job, talk to her on her break-time not on company time". you would rare back and fold your arms and i would too. we would both look at him and shake our heads. he loved to mess with us. those were the best of times, those were, sometimes, the worst of times but YOU were a light that helped illiminate my way. thank you, mr. armstrong.
may your family be rapidly healed and delivered from sorrow.
rest in peace, dear brother.
