It is with our deepest sorrow to announce the passing of Gary William Armstrong on Saturday May 23rd, 2020 at the age of 74 years. 

Gary was the President & Owner of Preston Woodworking Machinery. 

In loving memory of a father, friend, husband, grandfather and great grandfather.

Never more than a thought away

Still loved and missed in every way.


Always loved, Forever in our Hearts

So sorry to hear of Gary's passing I worked with him at Home Depot, and always enjoyed chatting with him, he was always so pleasant.
You will be missed at the entry doors.

Gary was my neighbour for many years. We enjoyed many great chats on his porch with a beer in hand. Gary was super social and the nicest of people. I'll miss waving to Gary in the mornings as he sat on his porch and I headed off to work. Jen, Jake and I will miss you. Till we meet again. Cheers Gary!

Deepest condolences to all of Gary's family.
Gary was our neighbor and friend for many years. My 11 year old son yelled out "Hi Gary!!" almost every day.
We were crushed to hear of his diagnosis and it still brings tears to my eyes now knowing that he is gone, but he certainly won't be forgotten. He is thought of everytime I Iook out my kitchen window and see the porch where he used to sit, where we used to hang out and chat and enjoy some smokes and beers together.
He was always full of stories and wit . He talked about his kids a lot and we complained about all the people who didn't come to a stop at the stop sign lol
He was a great guy all around. Our neighborhood will never be the same. R.I.P. Gary xo

Gary was such pillar for us. He made so many friends and acquaintances simply being him. He was always the smile and greeting that made people's day. On his days off, he was missed and it was always a pleasure to see him back welcoming everyone. Gary, you will be missed but know that you have touched so many lives ((HUGS))

I knew Gary for a short period of time working with him at Home Depot. It was a pleasure to stop and have a chat since it was always on the comical side which made my day. My condolences to the Armstrong family.
