Wally Amos, the visionary behind "Famous Amos" cookies, passed away at 88 in Honolulu. Amos transformed his aunt's cookie recipe from a family tradition into a beloved brand, turning his Sunset Boulevard shop into a $12 million success story by 1982. Despite the ups and downs, including losing control of his company in 1985 and eventually selling it in 1992, Amos found profound lessons in his journey. He wrote, “I found out that I was not just a cookie, I wasn’t a name, and I wasn’t a company—I was a spiritual being, and no one could own that.” Wally’s legacy lives on not just in his cookies, but in his resilient spirit and wisdom.
