William Amos

I know this is over ten years late, but Mr. Amos was a big part of my childhood. My father, Dr. Gairdner B. Moment, was an invertebrate zoologist at Goucher College and was something of a mentor to Mr. Amos. We Moment children used to love going to the Delaware shore in the summer to visit the Amos family at their beach cottage. I thought that Mr. and Mrs. Amos were the most glamorous couple possible. So young and beautiful! (I am sure this is what people thought of my parents in the early...

Reading The Infinite River and appreciate his blend of story, science and prose. He made key contributions that still Napier others today.

Hello. I am reading Mr. Amos´ book on rivers. It is guiding me as I teach river conservation to my 30, ESL students in Madison County, Georgia. I wish he were still alive so that I could thank him for his beautiful words. Sincerely, Kelli Bivins

A wonderful example of Faith and Learning! An inspiration for all.

Dear Amos Family:

Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss. It has been my honor and pleasure to direct the US Navy Japanese, Oriental Language School Archival Project at the Archives, University of Colorado Boulder Libraries. I was privileged to meet or contact as many as 650 of the sensei, attendees, and graduates in the past 15 years. The only drawback to running this project is the sad duty to write messages like this one.
Bill was a very enthusiastic supporter of...

I always enjoyed reading his "Hidden Worlds" column... he had a wonderful way of looking at even the smallest and most seemingly ordinary things...

I'm one of the many people who never met Mr. Amos, but who very much enjoyed his writings. I always looked forward to his nature articles in the Caledonian and loved his articles in the Danville North Star. I wish I'd have had the chance to shake his hand and tell him how much I enjoy his work. My sympathy goes out to all his friends and family, and to those of us who will miss his engaging muses on the natural world. God bless you.

I am sorry for your loss. Mr. William seemed to have been a caring man that enjoyed giving back by educating young minds. I hope you will find peace and strength from the words found at 2Thessalonians 3:16.

Bill was not only the finest teacher I ever had the privilege of learning from, he was thr finest person I had the privilege of knowing.
