He married the love of his life, Pam (Holdman) Armour in 2006 and they eventually moved back to St. Francois County, MO, where Pam grew up.

Pete was a member of Open Door Baptist Church of Desloge, MO. He loved the Lord and always tried to live his life as pleasing unto God. He was a retired truck and fuel tank driver, having worked in the industry for 48 years, with a perfect driving record.

He also loved Bluegrass Gospel music very much and spent many years playing and singing with various friends and family. He was a member of the Shiloh Bluegrass Gospel group, and they cut a CD in 2003 in Georgia.

He had a wonderfully off-beat sense of humor and a heart for animals. Pete also absolutely loved the west and his time living in Montana. He was born and raised in Georgia but was a cowboy at heart. After retiring in Montana and moving to Farmington, MO, Pete began working at John’s Pharmacy there. He loved all the guys that he worked with and greatly cherished their friendship. Pete’s family thanks each man at John’s for their friendship with Pete and for your concern and help when he became ill.
