4 decades. During this time he was able to travel the world visiting various islands and continents. Don loved to travel and over the years he took trips with his mother and father, nieces and nephews, as well as other family and friends. He was such a free spirit! He took an interest in and greatly appreciated different cultures and customs that he encountered along the way. A lifelong music lover, throughout the years Don acquired a massive music collection, which further broadened his appreciation for world culture. This collection included many genres and artists that ranged from Miles Davis to Jimi Hendrix. Don's mother and father were both great cooks who enjoyed good food and entertaining. Don acquired this same gift and became an excellent cook as well as an unofficial food critic. He continued to hone his skills over the years, creating memorable culinary experiences that he enjoyed sharing with his friends and family. He was quite knowledgeable of the culinary arts and had a very diverse palate. Don had a natural knack, and a gift for discovering new food experiences. These discoveries could be a hole in the wall or a Michelin star restaurant. If you ever asked him for a restaurant suggestion, he'd be able to direct you to the right place, as well as a dish recommendation. He had a recipe for everything. He truly had a gift and the culinary arts was his passion. Although Don had no biological children of his own, he was a second father to his nieces and nephews. Affectionately known as "Uncle Don," he was very instrumental in their upbringing and poured endless amounts of love, patience and attention into them. He shared many of his interests with his nieces and nephews, even taking them on a once in a lifetime trip to London, England. This even included our nation's capital. He was always encouraging them to indulge in new experiences and to live life to the fullest. This unconditional love was passed along to his great-nieces and great-nephew, who loved him and were loved by him just the same. He has left an undeniable impact on them all. He will be forever loved and appreciated. On October 21, 2020, Don was called to rest from his earthly existence. He was proceeded in death by his father Clinton D. Armstrong, I; mother Aary E.
