Paul E. Amos, Jan. 1, 1915-June 2, 2012 loved the Lord with all his heart.
His favorite verse was John 3:16, which says, "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." He loved to share the gospel, and rarely neglected the opportunity to witness for his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, wherever he went. He believed that at death, the physical body returns to dust, and the soul of the believer is welcomed into heaven. He believed what the Bible says in 2 Peter 3:9, that God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. His prayer was that all of you who read this would take John 3:16 seriously and, if you haven't already, would receive the gift of eternal life.
He brought much joy to many people and finished well
We grieve not as those who have no hope but we rejoice in knowing that Paul has left his earthly body to be home in the presence of his Lord and Saviour, Jesus, where he longed to be. We look forward to the day we will be with him where he is. Left behind are his children: Randal (Sylvia) Amos, Mary Ruth Mizener (Sam), Martha Amos; five grandchildren; seven great grandchildren, one brother, many friends and brothers and sisters in the Lord that loved and respected him greatly.
There will be a quiet graveside service on Tuesday, June 5, at 1:00 pm in Round Hill Cemetery, Elizabeth, PA. He will be laid to rest there alongside his late wife Lorna Amos
