Wes Armstrong leaves us

Dear MCA Members,

It is with shock and sadness that I just received word from the Armstrong family that our charter member, huge MCA supporter and Massey collector, husband, father and friend Wes Armstrong passed away last night.  Because of the holidays arrangements will not be made until Saturday.  As we hear more we will share the information with you.

Please keep the Armstrong family in your thoughts and prayers during the very difficult times.

Rest In Peace dear friend Wes.

Wow.....I can't believe it. To Debbie, Damond and the rest of your family, I am sorry for your loss. 

RIP Wes, you will be missed.

RE:Wes Armstrong leaves us

Wow! I'm still having a hard time believing this is true. I believe Wes has had his ups and downs with just about every health issue you can imagine in the last 10 years and has always pulled through just in time to make it to the next Massey gathering. Wes was the most easy going laid back guy you will ever meet. He was always there to lend a helping hand to whomever needed it even though his doctor told him the day before not to lift more than 10 pounds. Wes will truely be missed by all the "Massey" family and friends. 
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Debbie, Damond, Dorliska, their whole family. We are so, so very sorry for your loss.

Debbie and family       With a lump in our throat we reach out to the Armstrong  family.  More like this can't be true. He was more than a friend, a massey collector, and an example of the kind of people we all should be.  Truely a man who went above and beyond. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family.     Steve and Marci

RE:Wes Armstrong leaves us

 I have mulled around for a couple days, trying to come up with words that are deserving.  Wes to my knowledge, enjoyed life as he wanted to live it. And he did. Wes did the very best at turning the Lemons of life, into the best Lemonade. Wes always had a compliment, smile, and respected everyones place in the Universe.  People like him, make a difference in this world.  R I P , our good friend.   T & K
