Jacob Carl Armstrong, Jr.

My family and I would like to offer our deepest sympathies to you and your family. We are so sorry for your loss. Please know that you are never alone. Turn to the Holy Scriptures for guidance and to help soothe your heart. Psalms 34:18 assures us that Jehovah God is near to those broken at heart and crushed in spirit. Jesus spoke at John 5:28-29 that all those in the memorial tombs will come out. What a wonderful time that will be. The Bible has much comfort for all who has loss ones in death. May Jehovah God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ grant you comfort in your time of need.

Well done! Be thou at peace, Jake.

Jay never quit anything . . . even though lesser individuals would have succumbed much earlier to rather debilitating handicaps, Jay continued to press on. Whether it was on the racquetball court or fishing from a float tube on the lake, Jay quietly but firmly embraced all that life had to offer, and he will be sorely missed. Godspeed my friend, and Gail, Neli and I will continue to remember you and the family in our prayers.

Jay was my good friend and was my squadron commander in the WA ANG for many years. He took care of his people, knew what he was doing, and was someone who I would willingly follow to war. He played Hearts and Handball and was good at both. He was a common-sense engineering officer and wasn’t afraid to call BS when some plan didn’t pass a sanity check. He was a good and honorable man. He did well. I miss him.
