Amos honorably and proudly served his country as a member of
the U.S. Navy from 1956-1958 (and in the Reserves until
1960), his time aboard the USS Decatur DD936 his fondest
memory. Amos worked at Cornell University in the computer
department during the 1960s, and was later employed as an
audio/visual technician at the United States Military
Academy at West Point, NY, where he retired after 31 years
with special honors in 1998. Amos also spent many years
working evenings at the Grand Union in Cornwall, sharing his
smile, his stories and jokes with coworkers and patrons
alike. A long-time member of the Cornwall Presbyterian
Church, and having served as both Deacon and Elder, Amos
planted flowers on the church grounds every spring, cooked
chili for the Apple Time Fair each fall, and was always
willing to lend a helping hand to all those in need. He was
a member of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons in
NY State for over 50 years, and was also a member of N.C.T.,
National Camping Travelers. He and his wife, Lori,
volunteered their time on Cornwall’s Fourth of July
Committee for over 15 years, and both worked for the Board
of Elections since retiring. Amos loved the outdoors,
gardening, camping with family and friends, and wintering in
Florida in the years after his retirement. An active member
of his community, Amos was a dear friend to many, and will
be greatly missed. - December 17, 1933 – March 27, 2020
