John Wallace Armstrong of Fordwich, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at St. Mary’s General Hospital, Kitchener, with his caring family at his side, on Sunday, November 28, 2021, in his 78th year.
Loving husband of Sharon (Bester) Armstrong. Proud father of Kevin & Pamela Armstrong of Fordwich, Brad & Janet Armstrong of Waterloo, Mark & Christine Armstrong of Fergus, and Angela & David Crispin of Palmerston. Poppa of Brandie & Sjors Lavrysen, Vanessa Armstrong & Lindsay De Melo, Tyler Armstrong & Mikayla Vantyghem, Darcy Armstrong, Drew, Hailey and Elyse Armstrong, Sidney, Jocelyn and Madelyn Armstrong, and Makayla, Mallory, and Nicole Crispin. Great-poppa of Beau & Kade Lavrysen.
John will be remembered by Sharon’s family, and by his brother and sisters, nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents Everet and Ruth (Hallman) Armstrong.
John loved nothing more than spending time with his family. His favourite past times included calling his kids, friends and family, bugging his grandkids with the utmost love and, most recently, perfecting his tart and nanaimo bar recipes. Nothing made him happier than waking up to a fresh dumping of snow on the ground because it meant he would be heading to groom the hill for a big toboggan party. He had just learned to make Sharon the perfect cup of tea. John is loved beyond measure.
