Danny L. Amon, 83, of Franklin, passed away peacefully to be with the Lord on November 26, 2022 at Sugar Creek Station.

He was born on January 14, 1939, to the late Harold and Vera Lynn Amon who raised him and his sister in Raymilton, PA.

Danny attended a one-room schoolhouse in Raymilton, and then went to attend Franklin High School until he left to join the United States Army.

Danny returned to complete his high school education by graduating with the Franklin High School Class of 1958.

He continued his education at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh where he earned a degree.

Danny married the love of his life, the former Margaret “Avis” Owens, on March 31, 1961.

Danny was employed at WTAP in Parkserburg, WV where he created and designed their technical illustrations.

After returning to Franklin, Danny worked at CPT as a Graphic Illustrator, Joy Manufacturing, Story & Clark Piano, Buyer’s Fair, and finally retired from Bower Industries as a machinist in 2005.

Danny loved music and was an accomplished singer and guitarist.

He was a member f the Venango County Barbertones and was a member of the First Presbyterian Church choir for almost 40 years.

He loved playing the guitar and singing at any opportunity.

Danny’s artistic abilities were evident throughout our community.
