Robert R. Armstrong ’62

Robert (Rob) Rowe Armstrong, 85, of Lewiston passed away at Central Maine Medical Center on Saturday, October 18, 2025, with loved ones by his side.

Born on June 10, 1940, in Framingham, Massachusetts, Rob moved to Saco, Maine, as a young boy, attending Thornton Academy as part of the graduating class of 1958. Later awarded a Maine scholarship, he attended and graduated from Bowdoin College in 1962 and went on to a long career with ExxonMobil as a territory manager.
