Wally Amos, creator of Famous Amos Cookies, dies in Honolulu at 88

Wally Amos, founder of Famous Amos cookies, reads “Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type” by Doreen Cronin, to children in the A+ afterschool program at Honowai Elementary School in 2012. Amos died Tuesday at home in Honolulu.
Wally Amos, an indefatigable entrepreneur who in 1975 took a $25,000 loan from a few friends in Hollywood to start Famous Amos, one of the first brands to push high-quality cookies in its own stores and one of the world’s best-known names in baked goods, died Tuesday at his home in Honolulu. He was 88.
His children Shawn and Sarah Amos said the cause was complications of dementia.
At a time when flavorless, preservative-packed cookies were about the only thing available to consumers not blessed with a baker in the family, Amos’ confections stood out. Derived from a recipe he had learned from his aunt, they used real ingredients, no coloring or chemicals added, and he kept them as close to handmade as possible, even as his company exploded into national distribution through the early 1980s.

We have created a new Navy League video featuring members sharing their reasons for joining our mission. Please share this video with your councils and community to spread awareness of our organization.
“First
of all, every day in this audience (“The View” June 25, 2024), it’s a tough
conversation to have. The truth is, everybody’s gonna die at some point. Don’t
leave it for your kids to deal with. Get a PrePlan, make a will. Do not wait
until you die. You’re leaving people in pain at your loss, trying to figure out
what you wanted. Tell people what you want before your demise.” Whoopi
Goldberg, author, comedienne, actress, EGOT winner (one of only 19), co-host of
“The View.”
Whoopi is right. However, a preplan is
different from a will. A will is to state who you want to leave any property or
money you might have. A Pre-Plan
is for you to decide whether you want a traditional/casket or cremation. You
can make the decisions now as to where you will be buried, or whether you want
to be cremated and your ashes scattered, or whether you want a niche, a family
plot, or have your own mausoleum, etc. With a Pre-Plan, you will be able to
give peace of mind to those close to you and to yourself. Being prepared is an
important part of the life you are living. I can help you prepare yourself for
the inevitable no matter when it might arrive. Yes, you 
can
take care of planning your end-of-life now and be sure that your loved ones
will be able to follow your personal instructions. If you plan well
in advance, you will prevent their suffering and sudden financial costs. Don’t
know where to start? Give me a call. I will help you with your Pre-Plan. You
will be able to give peace of mind to those close to you and to yourself.
Please call me today. I can help you just like I have assisted more than 10,000
Hawaii families and individuals make their plans for cremation or burial. And,
if you travel often, you can also purchase a lifetime travel plan for $499
that, in case you should die while away from Hawaii, will pay to bring your
body back – a procedure that can cost thousands of dollars and occurs more
often than you may think. This is something you can do that is positive and
will be of help to family and friends alike.
A Pre-Plan is a very powerful thing to do. So please do this while you still can, and those who love you can celebrate your life with you now, not after it’s too late.
