He finally retired in his early 70's. During his days off, Armando thoroughly enjoyed fly fishing, mushroom picking, and perfecting his home-made wine collection, with much pride that became the envy of many friends. During the gardening season you could always find him tending to his garden.

Armando would often be seen reaching over the fence offering samples of his vegetables to passersby whether he knew them or not.

Armando will be forever missed by his loving wife of 58 years, Betty, his children, and grandchildren.
