'Peacefully on Friday, April 15, 2011 with his loving family by his side at the age 84 years.

Harry Armstrong, cherished husband and best friend of Connie Bagby. Respected, Loved & Admired by daughters Pamela (John Mooney) of Guelph and Mary-Lou (John Ferguson). Gramps will be forever remembered by Patrick & Sean. Survived by brother John (late Bernice) Armstrong of Kamloops BC.

Harry lived his faith through his devotion to church, family and his career, something he instilled in each of us. Harry had tremendous respect, appreciation and pride for the history and traditions of the RCMP. His work with the Vets Association was his way of maintaining the life long friendships he cherished across the country.

His dedication to the residents through his volunteer work at the Perley was one of his greatest satisfactions.
