Amos Whetung Obituary
Amos M. Whetung
Amos served in the US Army during WWII. He worked in Seattle as a longshoreman for 30 years until retirement.
Amos was preceded in death by his wife, Georgianna Cross, of 38 years. He is survived by his five children, Joseph, John and Marilyn of Washington, Elizabeth of South Dakota and Carol Anne of England; four grandchildren and many great-grandchildren; brother, Albert, and sisters, Myrtle and Chiz.
Amos was a good Christian man. His smile, warmth and gracious, humble approach to life will always be remembered by those who were blessed to know him. He will be forever missed.
There will be a family celebration of his life. Urn committal service with military honors will be held on Thursday March 31, 2011 at 2 p.m. at Tahoma National Cemetery.

Dear Joe & Judy; Both Kathy and I are very sad to hear of your dad's passing. I remember your dad as a very quiet and humble person. Always working hard at the docks to give his family the very best that life has to offer. I know he will be missed very much by everyone who's life he touched. He and your mom are now reunited together again, in a very special place. All our best to you and your entire family.
