IN MEMORIAM
November 4, 2007
Amos Ilan - I never met Amos in my 36 years at the PA. Amos
retired in 1995 as Manager, Economic Analysis Division
after 25 years. I retired in 1997 and a few of us
retirees that had worked together decided to make it
a regular lunch date that whenever we can get more than four of us free
at the same time we go to lunch.
That's where I met Amos, he is a close friend
to many of my friends so therefore Amos became my friend. I got to know Amos as a really gentle and soft
spoken man and I really enjoyed our brief meetings for lunch.
Amos was not feeling well
for about a year now and has finally found peace.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and his wife
Sylvia. I say this from all of us that have have been lucky
enough to have crossed his path over the years.....Dear Amos......Rest In
Peace!

I know that each of you had a list of people whom you
had been in touch with about Amos. Sylvia has asked me
to give you the following funeral information. Please
pass this info along to those on your lists and anyone
else whom you think of.
Note that the funeral
location is different than earlier discussion. Central
Synagogue is a beautiful house of worship that had a
special place in Amos's heart. He and Sylvia have long
been members there. It is a most special and
appropriate place for family and friends to remember and
honor Amos.
I'm sorry that such a sad occasion is the cause of my
contact with you.

All of us in P&D were privileged to know a number of
honorable and trustworthy men and women. Amos was
indeed in this category. As someone who benefited
from showcasing Amos` and Rosemary's work, I was
always certain of their conclusions and analyses.
Having worked in many organizations since then, I
can say unhesitatingly that Amos was without peer.
In football and life, a man can be complimented by
saying he was sweet. By that is meant he had
nothing but kind things to say at all times about
his colleagues and workmates some of whom who often
made unreasonable requests. Amos never failed
to fill the bill.
I hope he enjoyed his life and his work and his
family. I missed him and many others who often made
me look good while I was in the old PA. As we bid
him goodbye, let us celebrate a good man who lived a
life with much accomplishment and served as an
example to all of us of how gentlemen conduct
themselves.
