Amos Donald Fattman, 92, of Saxonburg passed away Saturday at Shelbourne Assisted Living.

Born May 11, 1918, he was the son of Lewis McKennan Fattman and Laura Kathererine Paul Fattman.

He was employed at the Golden Anderson Valve Co.

In life, Amos was an avid football and NASCAR fan, enjoying the Pittsburgh Steelers and driver Lee Petty, NASCAR champion.

Family Thanksgivings were held yearly at Granddad Amos' home in Pittsburgh until he moved into his home at Shelbourne Assisted Living, where the tradition carried on. Thanksgiving "scat" games were a family favorite, as well as family singalongs to polkas and "Roll Out the Barrell" with his children at birthday parties.

Among his friends at the Shelbourne Assisted Living, Amos came to be known as the "Candy Man" because of his penchant for eating Hershey chocolates, and he was often frequented by his female friends at various Shelbourne functions. He was loved by all and thoroughly enjoyed life.

Surviving children are Donald Allan Fattman of Sutton, Mass., Marie June Depenbrok of Cleveland, Lewis Paul Fattman of Lancaster and Beth Hutchinson of Brownsfield, Texas; and eight grandchildren. Amos was the youngest of 11 siblings and is survived by his youngest sister, Evelyn Bird, 94, of Virginia.

Preceding him in death was his beloved wife of 50 years, Flora Delcampo Fattman.
