Amos J Rutkowski Jr. Obituary (1956

Amos J. Rutkowski Jr, lovingly referred to as "Famous Amos" by family and friends. After a courageous battle with cancer, he passed away on June 21, 2025, at home surrounded with the love of his wife, children, and grandchildren. A proud United States Army veteran who served in Germany during the Vietnam War. For many years, Amos worked at Citizens Bank Park in the concessions. Born on December 4, 1956, to the late Amos J. and Louise (nee: Bruch) Rutkowski Sr., and has been a vibrant part of his South Philadelphia community. He was a talented singer and guitarist who enjoyed entertaining family and friends at all events, even street parties. An avid Eagles fan who never missed a game. Amos was a proud member of the Bryson NYB and was especially proud to have been a 2018 Hall of Fame inductee. His fond memory of that year was parading with his entire family to celebrate this milestone. The theme was Ghostbusters, and he was mesmerized by the suite colors, and they won that year's parade together. His drink of choice was a nice cold "Natty". Family meant the world to him, and his grandchildren were his heart. He will be remembered as a loving, caring, funny, silly soul who loved those around him.
