"Sadly, we all get older and there is a time when each of us will decide it is time to go.
With that said, it is time to say good bye to someone many of us have known and loved – Amos Jessup who passed away today – March 14, 2019.
Amos had been sick recently, which I had announced about a month ago to many of his friends. It was thought that he was recovering as he was getting his motor skills back along with his speech, however, after a rough night last night, he was in a lot of pain, he refused to go to the ER and wanted to just remain in his living room chair. He seemed okay, so his son took the dog out for a short walk – only to find upon his return that Amos had moved on to a new world.
I first meet Amos when I was 11 years old on the Royal Scotman. As a Commodore’s Messenger I interacted with Amos many times during our Sea OrgAbbreviation for Sea Organization. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976).
years together, when he was the Captain of the Avon River/Athena, later the Chief Officer and even Deputy Captain of the Apollo and again in 1975 when I did the mission to Toronto org and put him on postA position from which a terminal operates in an org, where one knows that somebody is at. (FO 2200) as the Executive Director.
After being a successful executive for many years, Amos kept returning to the auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) chair, where he loved to help people by auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) them. Even after Amos left the Sea OrgAbbreviation for Sea Organization. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). over 30 years ago, he continued to auditThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) and help people.
Amos was one of those people that I and many of his old shipmates will greatly miss – at our reunions, he was always the one to arrive with his guitar in hand, ready for any song we could throw at him for everyone to join him in song. . He was well known to bring laughter and joy to the room with his fun-loving smile and joyful character. He cared about people and wanted to make them happy.
Only two years ago, Amos and Daly moved from San Diego to North Carolina and in that short a time period Amos made many dozens of new friends. Upon hearing the news of Amos’ passing a bunch of them showed up at his home yesterday and kept proposing locations for his memorial “party”. As they discussed it, each proposal would be shot down as not a bigger place (starting with his big back yard). On Sunday, a special memorial program about him will be aired on the local radio, where he was featured many times, with music and poetry.
Amos was also very helpful with my first two books about growing up in the Sea OrgAbbreviation for Sea Organization. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). – he was a behind the scenes reminder of various things that occurred and always offered whatever help he could in editing and improving my books for which I will always be grateful.
We will be missing Amos jamming on his guitar at the June 22 at the upcoming Burbank Reunion where instead we will remember and honor him along with our other big loss - Bill Franks."
