''Unfortunately, my grandmother has passed on to her maker, so I don't often see him around anymore,'' he said.
Meeting Amos
While on his way from the bank one day, the man recalled seeing Amos sitting quietly under a shed.
''I asked him what's wrong and if he was okay. He said he was okay and was taking a little rest before continuing hawking."
Taking Amos to KFC
''I was hungry at the time, so I asked him if he wouldn't mind having lunch with me? And he said yes. We went to the nearest KFC, which was the Dansoman Asoredanho Mataheko branch ... We enjoyed our meal very well, '' the man recalled.
The man further mentioned that he requested that Amos comes to his house anytime he goes hawking in his neighbourhood.
