Laura and family,
I am so very saddened and shocked to hear of Ken’s passing. He was so great when I subbed in his school for a few years. He was always happy and certainly enjoyed it. A loss too soon. Comforting thoughts to you.

I am shocked to hear of Ken's passing. He was a great guy. Played softball with him, and did some business dealings with him, and he was always a very fun guy to be around. He was genuinely down to earth. I heart goes out to Laura and his family. I pray for you all. God Bless him and you all.

Dr. Armacost was the reason I wanted to teach at CVIS. He had faith in me as a teacher and will forever hold a special place in my heart. He supported me and my family during the loss of my father and son this past Spring. My heart goes out to his family. May they feel Jesus' loving comfort and healing. Rest in the arms of the Lord Dr. Armacost. With love and healing xo

Dr. Armacost was one of the kindest people I've ever known, genuine and full of integrity. My children absolutely adored him during their time at CVIS. He never missed any of my son's IEP meetings, and the way his face would just beam when Aidan was doing well was proof that he was 100% invested in those kids. There have been many tears at our house since we found out of his passing which just goes to show how much he affected other people's lives. His passing leaves a hole in the CVSD community, and in many families' hearts. I know our family will never forget him, his kindness, or his support. We are so, so sorry for your loss.

I had Mr. Armacost in school when I attended he helped me more than he would ever know. When he was the principal at CVIS my daughters were there they loved him and he took such good care of them. He was kind and compassionate. He will be greatly missed.
