Roger Eugene Armstrong, 87, passed away on Saturday, August 29, 2015.  This was a special day for his family because it was his parent’s anniversary date.  He was born in Elm Creek, Nebraska on May 2, 1928, the son of Earl Clifford and Sylvia Anne Neidigh Armstrong.  The family later moved to Ogden, Utah.

Groom, and Tiffany R. Groom; sister, Anita Alberti; nephews and nieces, and a longtime loving friend, Frances Hunter.
