Life Story
May 14, 2025
His story will be presented to us at our Wednesday night Rotary Club meeting by his grandson. Wallace Amos Jr. (July 1, 1936 – August 13, 2024) was an American television personality, businessman, and author. He was the founder of the Famous Amos chocolate chip cookie, the Cookie Kahuna, and Aunt Della's Cookies gourmet cookie brands, and was the host of the adult reading program Learn to Read. Early life and education Amos was born July 1, 1936, to Wallace and Ruby Amos.[1] He was born and raised in Tallahassee, Florida, until he was 12 years old.[2] When his parents divorced, he moved to New York City with his aunt, where he enrolled at the Food Trades Vocational High School. He showed his interest in cooking at a young age. It was from his aunt Della Bryant, who would bake cookies for him, that Amos later developed his chocolate chip cookie recipe.[2] Amos dropped out of high school to join the United States Air Force.[1] He served at Hickam Air Force Base in Honolulu, Hawaii, from 1954 until 1957.[3] He earned his high school equivalency diploma[4] before being honorably discharged from the military.[5] |
