Douglas Armstrong
Passed on: August 16th, 2012
ARMSTRONG, Douglas (1955-2012). There have been many great teachers, but very few like Doug Armstrong. Beloved by many for his wit, humour, and wonderful stories, Doug was an extraordinary teacher and person. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Douglas Donald Armstrong on August 16, 2012. Teacher, coach, friend, son, brother, husband, and father, Doug was cherished and loved by all those privileged to have met him. A great fan of history, music, and sport, Doug was well read and greatly informed about nearly every topic. His uproarious and spirited character affected many. He had a way of connecting with people and students of all types and bringing out the best in everyone. Doug is survived by his wife, Darlene (Fingas), son Cole, daughter Jill, mother Mary, sister Jane, and son, Shafeeq, father-in-law Harold, sister-in-law Cathy (Kelly) and children, Kaitlyn, Braden, and Jennifer, and brother-in-law, Ken. He is predeceased by his father, Grant, in 2012. We welcome friends and former students to join us in a celebration of memories and an exchange of stories, Doug style, on Tuesday, August 21 beginning at 3:24pm (school is out) at the Iplex Social room in Swift Current, SK. In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family has requested that donations be made to the Swift Current Comprehensive High School Athletics, Kidsport, or a charity of your choice.
