Richard Armstrong

I was a student of Mr. Armstrong at MATC in '92. He was an outstanding teacher and a very wonderful person. He was always available for helping. Sometime I went just to talk. I've thought of him often since being in his class. He helped to change my life. Condolences to his family.

I echo Jean Brewer Proehl’s comments. Mr. Armstrong set in motion a lifetime spent solving engineering problems. I think of his silliness often. He was the kind of teacher that made me love learning.

Sorry to hear of Richard's passing. I only knew Richard by encountering him at Sandhill Wildlife Area where we both photoed wildlife. It seemed like each time I went he was there. He said the same. No planning just one of those unexpected things. I was jealous of his seeing and photoing a white coyote. We bonded quickly.

Rich was a gifted teacher and a great asset to our department. He cared deeply about his students and was very interested in student-centered learning. I also remember his love of photography and how exceptional his photographs were. And, finally, I remember how immensely proud he was of his family. He will be greatly missed.

A man to look up to a B. F. . An example of a great teacher. A person who loved the outdoors and treated it with respect. Thank you Rich for enriching the lives of so many. My condolences to all🙏. Stan
