Amos Edward Dombach
Amos Edward Dombach (21 August 1939, Columbia, PA) quietly passed away on Thursday, 29 September 2016 from complications associated with cancer. Growing up in Columbia and Kinderhook, he was the only son of the late Amos Stark and Emma Mae Zielinski Dambach.
A Columbia High School Graduate (1957), he attended Millersville State Teachers College (1961, BS Education, Sciences), Temple University (1966, MS Education, Biology), and West Chester University (1981 Instructional Media Specialist Certification). His 45-year public school education began in New Cumberland before assuming positions for the School District of Lancaster (Lincoln Jr. High, McCaskey High School, and Administration). Amos initiated the AV computing/technology/film program for the district and was an integral part of establishing the Individual Study Program, which incorporated technology with traditional textbook learning regimes. Throughout the years, he mentored several student apprentices. Amos remained with the district as a consultant after formally retiring in 1995.
He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Susan Atkins Dombach, a daughter, Dr. Amy Sue Dombach, DMA, and her husband, Ethan W. Gilson, of Westwood, MA.
