For over 25 years, Armour was a dedicated wool packager at Owens-Corning Fiberglas in Newark. His colleagues and friends knew him as a committed and hardworking employee, whose contributions significantly impacted the workplace.

A proud patriot, Armour served his country with honor in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict. His military service and sacrifices will be commendably acknowledged by the Licking County Veteran's Alliance through military honors provided at his burial.

In his free time, Armour found joy in woodworking, crafting the beautiful and the functional. He was meticulous in mowing his lawn, finding solace in the simplicity of a well-kept yard. He was a keen fisherman and hunter, along with shooting pool, and he often enjoyed the challenge of tackling Sudoku puzzles.
