John Armstrong
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of John after bravely battling cancer, he passed on the 7th of August, aged 70.
Beloved husband to Lesley for 45 years, loving dad to Claire, father-in-law to Dave and devoted Grandad to Jackson and Ellie.
John was well known around Newton Aycliffe after owning taxis for over 40 years, he was well liked by customers young and old. He had a passion for horse racing with yearly trips to Cheltenham racecourse with his friends. He also enjoyed holidays and days out to his favourite place, Whitby with his family always with fish and chips and ice cream. His proudest moment was when he became a grandad to Jackson & Ellie and in his words he worshipped the ground they walked on.
