Windsor didn't only lose a good horseman but most of all we lost a great, funny guy and a great friend. My condolences to Vera and the rest of the family. Paul had the work ethic of a horse and always had that posuitive attitude. He was the always the first one to congratulate a guy when his/her horse raced good. I know there will be a horse at Dresden next Sunday that he'll be watching down on and cheering for.

I would like to pass along
I would like to pass along my condolences to the Armstrong family. Paul and his wife used to live across the street from me on Alder Crescent in Nova Scotia. He campaigned a mare named Aunt Madge at Sackville Downs in the mid 1980's. He definitely had a love for the horses and the sport, and undoubtedly will be missed by many. God Bless
