Abraham T. "Abe" Armold, age 66 of Beavercreek, OH went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, February 26, 2019 at his residence. He was born January 27, 1953 in Radcliff, Pennsylvania to Robert and Delores (Nathnegal) Armold. Abe married Ruth Towson on April 12, 1975 in Radcliff, Kentucky.
Abe retired as a Major from the United States Air Force in 1997 after 21 years. His tour of duties started with the Philippines, and then took them stateside from Illinois to California to Texas to Massachusetts and finally to Ohio, "which became their home". After retiring, Abe worked as a civilian at WPAFB as a Technology Integration Manager in the Air Force Research Laboratory, and he received employee of the year in 2014 from the command. Abe had such a passion for guitars that at the age of 10, he picked up his first guitar and put down his last guitar in 2016. His collection of 21 guitars is proof of his passion for music by playing this as his chosen instrument. Abe was a member of the Worship Team at Faith Christian Fellowship, a trustee member of the church and a Sunday School teacher since 1991. He was a humble man, was committed to his faith and his walk with God. Abe loved his family dearly, always put them first and will be greatly missed by all. He made many sacrifices to make sure that his family was never neglected, showing his unending love for his wife and children.
Abe is survived by his wife of 43 years and 10 months, Ruth; three children, Amber (Russ) Adkins, Rachel Frost and Isaac (Holly) Armold; five grandchildren, James, Paige, Nova, Veda and Ezra; one great grandchild, Logan; two brothers, Tim (Alice) and Matt Armold; and other nieces, nephews, family and friends. He is preceded in death by his parents.
