Robert "Bob" Armour

ARMOUR, ROBERT, "Bob" of Middleborough formerly of Norwood passed away peacefully with his family by his side on February 15, 2023, at the age of 82. Beloved husband of Margaret P. "Peggy" (Eppich) Armour. Devoted father of Bob Armour and his wife Carolyn of Illinois, Christopher J. Armour and his wife Michele of Norfolk, Beth Squires and her husband Ken of Mattapoisett and Carolyn Harkins and her husband Dan of Wrentham. Brother of Eleanor Armour of Norwood, Richard Armour and his wife Beverly of Norwood and Florida and Tim Armour of Norwood. Cherished grandfather of Will, Ben, Max, Maddie, Meg, Lucy, Hannah, Lauren, and Samantha. Also survived by many nieces and nephews.


After graduating from Stonehill College at the age of 22, Bob somehow cajoled his father into refinancing his very modest home to provide the capital to start a 3 car taxi business in Norwood. The enterprise grew and prospered and became a family business later joined by Bob's mom, sister, his two brothers, sister-in-law, and children. After employing countless workers of all ages, many of whom still have fond, and sometimes very funny memories working for Bob, the company finally ceased operations in 2015.


Bob did not have many hobbies, but over the years, he developed a love for Notre Dame and the Fighting Irish and made countless trips with friends and family to South Bend to support his favorite football team. With the amount of memorabilia he came home with after each trip, the vendors were just as happy as he was to be in South Bend.


When Bob wasn't working or watching Notre Dame, he was discreetly helping others in need. Bob was a quiet, strong man of faith, a longtime friend of Bill W, and truly dedicated his life to serving others. To know Bob was to love Bob, and if you were lucky enough to call him a friend, then you had a friend for life. He will be missed.
