Dale Armstrong, Age 73, passed away peacefully at home on July 8, 2023 from pancreatic cancer. He was born on February 15th, 1950 in Pittsburgh, PA to the late Dale and Gloria Armstrong. Dale met Janet, his wife of 47 years, when they both lived in Aspen. He graduated from the University of Colorado - Boulder. Dale is survived by his three amazing children, Emily (Andrew) Wyckoff, Caroline (William) Ganier, and Wesley (Lauren Frey).
Affectionately known as Binks by many, he took great pride in his grandchildren, Henry, Will, Max, Sally, Ruby, and Murray. Binks is also survived by his siblings Rick (Karen) Armstrong, Clyde (Wendy) Armstrong, Davitt (Susan) Armstrong, and his sisters-in-law Barbara Marquardt and Ann Wescott, as well as many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Dale was a global leader in the automotive plastics industry, enjoying a career that spanned 45 years, the last 21 with Teijin Automotive. He devoted his time and energy to, "doing things the right way," leaving a lasting impact on those around him.
Music was Dale's jam. He loved it loud and was the first one on and the last one off the dance floor. His love for the outdoors began at a young age while spending time with his family at Solid Comfort Fishing Club on the French River in northern Ontario. He was an avid skier and cherished the time he spent out west on ski trips with family and friends. Dale was a passionate sports fan and loved cheering for all his children, as well as the Red Wings and Steelers. Dale loved tennis and golf and approached both with enthusiasm.
Dale will be remembered as a devoted husband and father, a good neighbor, a dedicated co-worker, and a loyal and fun friend. His warm and friendly nature touched the lives of many, and he will be deeply missed.
