Someone we just take for granted will always be there. Someone who beckons to our every call. Someone who knows a little bit about everything. A renowned Christian and openly testifies about his faith and his love for God. Amos takes great pride in his family commitment and has no problem babysitting his grandchildren. He doesn't mind helping anyone in distress. He often opens his door to family in need. God has blessed Amos with an incredible testimony that he loves to share. He has a vivid memory and fondness of his childhood, neighbors and community. He never meets a stranger. He has a sense of humor and will exaggerate the truth every chance he gets when it comes to your dress or cooking. Amos has been a man of the world and is well versed in many things. Anytime, the family is faced with a problem with car, plumbing, maintenance, etc. he's the one we call. Amos loves traveling, fishing, and studying the bible.<br />Amos is well loved by his family, children and adults alike. He was very devoted to mama and daddy. He came to stay with Lena to help take care of her when she was diagnosed with Cancer. He loves visiting with relatives and when necessary, he will travel hundreds of miles to see the sick. He has been a big brother to many of his family members and has always extended his love and concern.<br />Amos has dedicated many years to redeeming his past mistakes. Today he is an inspiration to all of us. Despite his disability, he is able to work and provide a lifestyle for his family. Some of you know him as quot;
cat daddyquot;

Sho-Nufquot;

, but to me he is quot;
BoBoquot;
