Francis (Frank) G. Armstrong, 90, of Locust Valley passed away on March 10, 2014 at his home surrounded by his family. Frank was born in Mt. Kisco, NY on October 23, 1923, the son of the late Frank and Margaret (Kennedy) Armstrong. After graduating from Glen Cove High School in 1942, he was employed by the FBI fingerprint division for the next 1 1/2 years before enlisting in the Army Air Corps.
In 1939, his parents began renting 9 acres from the Guthries of “Meudon.” With the purchase of 10 cows they began “Armstrong Dairy.” In 1947, Frank and his father purchased this acreage on Peacock Lane and with his brothers Arthur and Robert they continued to work the farm that expanded to include Jersey cows, a bottling plant and local milk delivery. Many who knew Frank will remember their kindergarten field trips to the Dairy where they visited the farm operation and finished the tour with a snack of Girl Scout cookies and Armstrong Dairy chocolate milk.
