Was so sad to learn this! I used to see Bob wrestle in Columbus GA weekly during the 70s!! I learned from The Magnificent Adrian Street on 2018 that Bob resided in Pensacola.... My deepest condolences to you and your family and friends.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from heavy.Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal Love. Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I am with you every morning and noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through. God picked me up and hugged me and said, I welcome you. It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest Family, they'll be here later on. There's so much that we have to do,to help our mortal man. God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you.... in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years. Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears of happiness. But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though may life on earth is over I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb, But together we can do it by talking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too;That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.If you can help somebody who in sorrow and pain; Then you can say to God at night.... My Day was not in vain. And now I am contented... That my life was worthwhile. Know as I passed along the way I made somebody smile. So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low.Just lend a hand to pick him up or her up, as on your way you go.When you're walking or running down the street and you've got me on your mind, I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step Behind. And when it's time for you to go... From the body to be free.Remember You're not Going... You're Coming Here To Me.
Hello to the Armstrong Family's I deeply sorry to hear about the passing of your family members I received the new today of 2021 Here is a Prayer to you All.

This Prayer will give you Strength
And Comforted.

Bullet Bob was my personal hero growing up. I tried to emulate everything he did, he handled everything so well and was so down to earth. He inspired me to reach for something more in life.

Growing up in Pensacola as a boy, I absolutely loved Bullet Bob Armstrong. He was and will always be my wrestling hero. Bob once lost a "loser leave town match" and I was heartbroken. But alas, the very next week the Georgia Jawjacker came to town and all was well with me again. (That USMC tattoo gave you away, Bullet!)
As I grew to be a man, I tried to build my own "20 inch guns" but never even came close. Bob, to me you were bigger than life, but still down to earth. Your character was good, loyal, and true and in the ring served as a positive role model for many young fans growing up in the 80s. Thank you, Bob!
You were definitely loved! You will definitely be missed! Maybe someday "I'll see you in Mobile, if you will!" or heaven if I get there.

I was introduced to wrestling by my niece (8 yrs younger!). This was at a time when the arenas
We're mostly men, with a scattering of ladies/girls. Must say, the men were all courteous. The women were just as boisterous as the men
Cheering for your favorite.
Bullet received a lot of love. I was a big fan. Young, impressionable and in awe. At one show, had excellent seats, way.up front. Yelling LOUD, telling Bullet.to slam him!. He turned around gave a smile and wink. Of course my niece and I thought it was directed to us. To this day I say it was. Their was many hundreds of people
present to see Bullet. His eyes were for everyone.
RIP. MR. BOB " BULLET" ARMSTRONG. HEAVEN IS WAITING. GOOD SHOW SIR.

Bob was not only a great wrestler, he was much more he was a gentle person , he was a great friend to everyone he meet. Mr Bob was a leader in the business of professional wrestling, I remember one match I had with him , I was nervous because I was actually about to go against a legend! And he told me , he looked me in the eyes and he said " Stallion don't be nervous just get out there and give it all you got and I will take care of you and make you look good " and he reall took me under is wing and took care of me and taught me a lot and I will always be grateful to him . Mr. Bob may you Rest In Peace, and thank you for the memories.
