He was also a real travelin man! On any given day, he would grab Mom and go. Lunch in Toledo, fly to Chicago or drive to Indiana for the day. He loved to camp, in tents or trailers, He loved boating; owning speed boats and a yacht. Then sailing on ships to see the world. He took his family to see our country, saying, “You must experience your own country first, learn its history and visit with people, before traveling anywhere else!” He loved new places, dining, dancing and talking with people. Dad never met a stranger. Traveling to over 2 dozen countries. Dad loved a good joke, whether to hear one or tell one. He saw the humor in life, so laughter was a big part of our family.
Carl Amoss was one of the most giving men I know. Of his time, his possessions and his generosity. When he saw a need, he helped. He enjoyed all of these things, but above all he treasured his wife and family.
He leaves to cherish his memory, daughter Karla and husband Archie Smith;
Grandchildren, Kristie Marsh, Chad Amoss and wife Amy Amoss, Aaron Canaday, Rachel and husband Robin Schuberg along with six great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Evelyn, son Ronald Amoss and his sister, Helen Duberville.
