Victor Constantine Armstrong Jr. ’34

VICTOR ARMSTRONG died July 4, 1993, according to his daughter, Sue Armstrong Villone. He had retired as assistant to the president of Lawyers Title Ins. Corp. in Phoenix in 1978, "but made a deal whereby I still work." He had written a classmate, "I don't ever want to quit, [but] I can't play golf seven days a week."

Golf was Vic's passion. He was a past president and director of the Phoenix Country Club, past president and director of the Southwest Golf Assn., and one of the first Five Arizonans named to that state's Golf Hall of Fame. In 1960, after 36 years of golfing, he scored his first holeinone, a feat witnessed by Bob Walker (d. 1976), his college roommate, and Bill Taylor (d. 1993).

A native New Jerseyan who grew up in Short Hills, Vic moved to Phoenix for his health in 1936, and lived there since. He joined Lawyers Title in 1964.

Surviving, besides his daughter, are Vic's wife of 55 years, Barbara (Blair); a son, John Leahy; seven grandchildren; and four greatgrandchildren, To them we offer our sincere sympathies.
