I know I'm late on this note, I have living in Chicago for the past 20 years and have been out of touch with happenings in town. I got to know Armand better when he was married to my cousin, Julie.He always had a good word to say and folks always said that he was great guy. I found that out myself. God Bless you and keep his memory up front.

I am shocked and deeply saddened learning of Armand's passing. I was Armand's eye doctor for the past 30 years, as well as seeing many other members in his family. I first met Armand at tithe health club in South Holland over 30 years ago. Armand was more than a patient but a friend as well. He was such a positive person who loved his family and his extended list of friends. Always had a smile on his face and always a kind word to say to me and my staff.
I will miss him deeply. I wanted to be at the wake but I just had foot surgery last week and am immobile for next few weeks
I will miss Armand deeply.
With my heart felt sympathy to the family

This is what I mean..... we're freezing and he's golfing!

Armand was a wonderful neighbor -- always friendly, helpful and cheerful. He faithfully walked his dog(s) several times a day. When there was a dog named Buddy whose owner had died, Armand took him in and cared for Buddy lovingly. Rest in peace, Armand! Our prayers are with Armand's family and friends.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
