Amos, a proud graduate of the University of Delaware, had a career in service to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Amos found joy in the simple pleasures of sports and cheering on his teams, especially Delaware’s football program. Go Blue Hens!

At Newark High School he was a renowned hitter and strong pitcher. He could be found at the golf course, where he cherished both the game and the camaraderie of other golfers.
