My condolences to Carie and family. I worked with Jack for many years at Central Steel. He was a true gentleman.
I can’t express how much Jack Armstrong meant to me and our family over the years. He always brought so much light into the lives of those around him.
I’ll remember him in many positive ways-with a big smile and a great sense of humor, always great with a story and listened to our stories as well.
