Wally

Wallace “Wally” E. Armstrong Sr., of Richford, passed away on December 7, 2023, at the age of 68 following a brief illness. Born on May 27, 1955, Wallace was the son of the late Duane and Murle (Curtis) Armstrong. Wallace grew into a man whose love for the outdoors was as vast as the landscapes he so often explored.

Wallace is survived by his beloved wife of 17 years Heather (Truesdail) Armstrong, his sons: Wallace “Wally” Armstrong Jr., James Armstrong, and Zachary Armstrong, grandchildren: Philip, Ariana, Kaley, Madyson, Leah, and Gabriel and a great granddaughter Kora, brothers Wayne and Tony Armstrong and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins also survive.

In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his brother Joseph and his sister Mertie.

An avid hunter, fisherman, Wally found solace and joy in the embrace of nature. He bonded with his sons by sharing his appreciation for the outdoors. His commitment to his community was evident through his dedicated service as a volunteer firefighter for the Richford Volunteer Fire Department.
