Amos was a friendly face and a gentle soul who greeted my parents every morning at the Riverton Post Office. He was a kind fellow and cared about all of the folks in Riverton that he saw daily. God Bless Him.
My thoughts are with you Ann.

To Amos's family, I remember Amos from the Post Office and when Hardee's was open. One of the clerks told me that they needed to find a doctor to help her child, I turned to Amos and said, here is the man you need to talk with. He got her into Shriner's fully funded. He was so generous with this time and talents. I will remember him and you all in my prayers.
