Summary
Robert “Dr. Bob” Armstrong died in 2024, according to a Beaver Island Forum obituary posted October 2. The notice described him as raised partly on Beaver Island, the son of Marjorie Armstrong, a longtime Cheboygan dentist, and a supporter of local music and art programs. Services were announced for October 4–5 in Cheboygan.
Identity note
This is not the same Robert “Papa Bob” Armstrong memorialized in the February 2007 Beaver Beacon; the 2024 notice concerns a younger Robert Armstrong born in 1961, while the earlier record concerns the 1932–2006 Coast Guard veteran.
Evidence limits
The source is a detailed community obituary. It supports the family’s public account and announced services, but the archive does not independently verify the biographical details, death record, or service attendance.
