Bobby J. Armstrong was taken to Heaven January 25, following a brave battle with brain tumors. Born January 26, 1948 in Greenville, Alabama, to Kendrick and Opie Armstrong.

Bob served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War (1967-1970). After college, his career consisted mainly in commercial construction management, until retirement when he formed BAMA Management.

Bob excelled in martial arts, obtaining multiple black belts in several styles of "karate". Most recently he practiced the Okinawan style, UechiRyu, reaching a 4 Dan (4th degree) black belt. Bob also enjoyed showing off his breaking skills in exhibitions, by breaking boards and concrete with a hand or palm strike.

Bob was a member and Deacon at Palm City Presbyterian Church, where he enjoyed mission work.

An Alabama boy, he was very loyal to his beloved Alabama Crimson Tide. Roll Tide!

Bob loved God, the USA, his family, his church family, animals, Harley motorcycles, and Nascar (the Earnhardts). Bob was a true friend, and man of his word and honor. He was a "jack of all trades", and did all to perfection.

He leaves behind his wife, Jody, son, Rhyne (Jenny), and grandchildren, Hollis, Anna, Tanner and Emma. He also leaves his Mother in Law, Polly (Victor) Forestier. Sisters, Betty Reynolds, Frances Shirley, Virginia Armstrong, and Alice Falgout. Brother Eddy Armstrong. Bob was predeceased by his parents, and brothers Ernest, Jimmy, Jack, George, and Billy.
