My wife and I join in extending our condolences to Judy and Dale. Doug was a wonderful, thoughtful, vibrant person that everyone seemed to take to. I think of him every time I play at Mountain View and when I go to work out at the gym.

Mr. Armstrong was my favorite teacher at Blanchard School. He always made time to shoot some hoops with us boys. My heart and prayers go out to his family.

Count me as another who remembers being there when Doug was climbing the tether ball pole and lost his finger. I was with him all through school and then we met again when he taught two of my kids at Blanchard School. We were so sorry to hear of his passing but know his influence will be remembered always.

Mr. Armstrong was my teacher at Isbell school in the 60's and my co-worker at Blanchard School in the 70's. Though I have not seen him in many many years, he has remained a wonderful memory of my "growing up years". My condolences to Judy, Dale, and Cheryl.

I was so saddened to hear of Doug's passing (it took me quite a while to be able to refer to him as Doug). He was my 6th grade teacher at Blanchard. I, too, am missing a finger and Doug and I shared that special bond. I later had the opportunity to work with him at SPESD during our tenure there. He had a heart as big as his stature. His primary concern was always the students and I am proud to have worked with him. Please accept my sincere condolences on Doug's passing. He was a GREAT man!

With love, Patrick & Chanda Ruiz Stockton
