Amos and Toni met while working for the Wal-Mart Distribution Center in Raymond, New Hampshire. Amos was a young man who loved and enjoyed so many things throughout his life. He was deeply devoted to his wife, Toni, family and many friends, whom he also thought of as family. Growing up, he was a best friend to his sisters, appreciated his dad's parental guidance, always wanted to please people, and was his Mom's 'coffee buddy'. Amos touched many people with his humor and natural musical talents and was, in fact, a self-taught pianist. He enjoyed playing with his two miniature dachshunds, Andrew and Koda, watching movies, and woodworking. His favorite pastime was Geocaching, Global Positioning System Treasure Hunting. Toni is so thankful for the time they had together and has many wonderful memories. His last few days were very happy and fulfilling, spent with his family over the holidays.
