I was very saddened to hear of Uncle Jack’s passing. I remember having lots of great times with him, and will always remember the great wedding reception he and Aunt Roberta gave Billy and I! Linda and the rest of my family will always remember him with a smile!
Our sincere condolences to all of the Armstrong family. Jack gave us for many Years interesting and fun times. He was also very knowledgable about the Tavern and Restaurant business and freely shared this in an unselfish way. We referred to him as the “All American Boy”.
