Uncle Amos, There are so many ways to describe you: you were one-in-a-million, when God made you, he broke the mold, you never met a stranger, etc. You had such a caring, loving heart and that along with your wonderful personality and humor will long be remembered. You touched so many people in such a positive way. We love and miss you. Connie and Phil Davis

I've known Amos my entire life. I grew up just a half mile from where he lived. I went to school with his children. He will really be missed because he was a super nice person that would do anything for anyone.

Dear Iva, I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved Amos. He certainly was a nice person and was very highly regarded and loved by everyone who knew him. I can remember that Phyllis was extremely fond of him. I was sorry I was not able to attend the services last evening. I had every intention of attending the graveside services this morning but something came up which I will explain later. I hope to talk with you and visit you soon. Please extend our sympathy to your son and grandchildren. With warm regards, Lynwood Athey and Family
