Thread: Amos - Pen Turner

Have only just seen this and would like to extend my family's wishes to Amos. Amos did all my pen engraving and lived about 12 km from where I live so I had the opportunity to see him a few times. I have met few individuals with his warmth and generosity. His knowledge of pen turning is vast and I have missed being able to track down the highway to discuss pens. I can tell from the quality of replies here that you have touched many of us and can't thank you enough for your time and support.
All the best,
Tony

I would like to thank you ALL, once again for the kindness of your thoughts and remarks and prayers.. Recently I had radiation treatment on my lower bowel to stop bleeding, thus far it seems to have worked, my health is still average! most times it is down and sometimes it is just ok. In my mind I could get up and turn a thousand pens!!! I miss turning, once I stand up and try and do things weakness and tiredness takes over; my heart wants to continue living so that my family can be blessed, would love to see my children and grandchildren grow up. Wish I could help you, my fellow turners in this life also.
If I have forgotten your name, if I have forgotten to give you thanks for what you have done for me, do please forgive me, it is not intentional; I am living with my son in Brisbane, that way if I fall he can lift me up and put me in a wheelbarrow I sign off for now, with a grateful heart. Amos

Good to hear from you again mate. If you are now in Bris, PM your details so I can call in when I'm in town, and of course you are always welcome to call in to my place on the Gold Coast anytime if down this way. Iv'e got a few lathes and plenty of timber and pen kits if you want to have a go too

Just back from a sojourn in Africa. Sorry to see you are not in the best of health Amos but happy to see you are in good spirits, and as ever, kind and generous with your posts. My only the best come your way. Cheers, artme.

Amos is a Facebook friend of mine. He's a lovely man who goes out of his way to help anyone. He's not in Palliative Care at the moment. 😀 As far as I Amos is back with his son in Brisbane. He's such a beautiful man.

Couldn't agree more

I am sorry to hear this. Hope he doing much better now. Oh by the way it Toni used to be lubbinng5cherubs. I am back making pens again after a long 7 years break so came back to my favourite hangout to find this sad news. Look forward to catching up with the oldies i use to know and the newbies here too
