GREAT PICTURE OF ARMAND THAT IS THE PERSON WE REMEMBER HAPPY AND HEALTHY LOOKING. ARMAND WAS A FRIEND AND FELLOW WORKER WITH ME AT THE CITY WATERWORKS .HE COULD BE OUTSPOKEN AND DIRECT BUT THAT MADE HIM UNIQUE. ARMAND LOVED HIS FAMILY HIS WIFE AND HIS CONDO WITH CATS INSIDE. MEETING AND MARRYING HELEN TURNED HIS LIFE AROUND AND HE BECAME A GOOD PERSON AND FRIEND . HE ALWAYS TOLD ME HE WAS SURPRISED HE LIVED THIS LONG AND CREDITED IT TO HAVING HELEN IN HIS LIFE. HE LOVED HIS TIME AT THE OASIS CAMPGROUND WHERE HE COMMUTED BACK AND FORTH TO HIS DAY JOB . AS THE PREVIOUS COMMENTER SAID ARMAND WAS ALWAYS SITTING ON HIS CONDO DECK AND WAS GREETED BY ALL PEOPLE PASSING BY. HE ADDED SOMETHING TO THE GAME OF LIFE. MAY THE FAMILY BE ABLE TO MOVE ON KNOWING THAT ARMAND WAS HAPPY AND RAN HIS OWN SHIP WHICH HE DID PRETTY GOOD. IT WAS AN HONOR FOR MYSELF TO BE THERE AT THE END KNOWING THAT THINGS HAPPENED QUICKLY AND HE SUFFERED NO PAIN. HE WILL BE REMEMBERED BY ALL. REST IN PEACE ARMAND YOU DID ALRIGHT.

Some of the memories that stand out for me are times spent at the Oasis with Jen and Armand. The drives there in his truck, singing "The Rodeo Song", brought lots of laughter for us all. I still sing this periodically when hitting the highway!

Your dad was able to make friends with anyone, and that brought new faces around each time we stayed at the Oasis. Whether family, friends, or friends of friends, everyone was charmed by your dad's cool and laid back nature.

He was a funny guy and pulled some good pranks on us. Like the time he said he found sunscreen on the beach and said we could use it. After dousing ourselves in the sticky orange liquid, then falling asleep on that hazy hot day, we woke up nice and crisp, too sore to sit, too sore to stand haha. That's when we learned it was orange crush we sprayed all over ourselves and not the "orange scented" sunscreen we thought we were using. Spent the rest of those days planted in the trailer playing cards, avoiding the sun altogether!

I passed by his condo all the time and would say hello to him from my car. This last week does not feel quite right as I look up to his place when driving by. I am so sorry for this loss; Armand had such a presence that will be very much missed by all who knew him. Love and Hugs to you Jen, Trevor, McKenna, and Niall. My thoughts are with you and all the extended family. Please take care of your hearts.

Rest in peace our condolences to all the family
