Deepest sympathy to the Orndorff family. Amos was a good man and a good friend. He surely will be missed by all the guys at FedEx Freight. He was the radio man because we always knew who to turn to when we needed our radios fixed and antennas tuned. I'm sure if there's an internet in Heaven, he's ordering a CB radio. I'll keep my volume on mine a little louder and one night maybe I'll hear him say "got that right", "I heard that", or "I know you're right". He will be missed. God bless.

As I read the post for Amos they all say the same thing," his smile and his friendship". You were a very blessed family to have friends remember him in this way. Amos had a smile that could lighten up a room, and he always had a kind word for everyone. He will be missed by everyone he touched.
