We want to send our deepest sympathy to Mary and family Roy was a great life long friend. He will sure be missed and remembered our loss is Heavens gain.

Roy was a really great guy, through and through, and was always as good as gold to me and my family. He will be missed.
Adam Duncan - Friend
Roy was one of a kind. Bet the Armstrong gang that has already gained their wings were at Heavens to greet him. He was well liked by everyone. Tractor pulls will not be the same without him. May God be with you in the days ahead.

Roy worked for me for several years, never once did i ever hear him raise his voice, get mad at someone or say anything bad about anyone. He just had a gentle demeanor about him, truly a special person. I'm sure the Good Lord has a special place for him in Heaven.
Jim McCall - Friend/Armstrong
Roy was truly one of a kind and a joy to be around. I was blessed to be able to meet him. He has been a wonderful Papa to Steven. My prayers and condolences to Mary, Steven, Mark, and James during this difficult time. May God give you strength and comfort.
