Obituary: Robert Francis Armann, 87, Of Cheshire

CHESHIRE, CT — (From Alderson-Ford Funeral Home): Robert Francis Armann, 87, of Cheshire, a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, peacefully left this world on December 10, 2023, at Yale New Haven Health, St. Raphael Campus in New Haven, surrounded by his loving family.

Born on January 15, 1936, in Brooklyn, New York and was a longtime Cheshire resident. He was educated in Queens, New York and had worked as a sales representative and territory manager for Gibson Greeting Cards retiring after many years of service.

Robert was proud of his service in the United States Air Force. He was a man of many talents and passions. After attending the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Manhattan, Robert discovered his love for acting. He graced the stages of numerous local productions, impressing audiences with his performances in plays such as "Arsenic and Old Lace," "Lovers and Other Strangers," and "Plaza Suite." His talent and dedication to the stage were truly remarkable.

Outside of the theater, Robert had a zest for life. He found immense joy in roller skating and could often be found gracefully gliding along the rink, even well into his 70s. His enthusiasm for staying active led him to become an original member of the Mr. Fit Research Group, a testament to his commitment to personal health and well-being.

Although his accomplishments were significant, Robert valued his family above all else. He leaves behind his devoted wife, Roberta (Ulan) Armann, his loving children, Steven Armann and Jennifer Armann, as well as his dear brother, Don Armann and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his daughter Laura Suzanne Armann.

In honor of Robert's life, a graveside service with military honors will be held at Cheshire Hillside Cemetery 166 Wallingford Road on Friday, December 22, 2023, at 10 a.m. The Alderson-Ford Funeral Home of Cheshire, 615 South Main Street has care of arrangements.

In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the Lewy Body Dementia Association 912 Killian Hill Road S.W., Lilburn, GA 30047 or to a charity of the donor's choice.
