CNN —Actor John Amos died in August, but his daughter has revealed she only learned about it when his passing was reported by the media on October 1. Shannon Amos paid tribute to her late father in a video shared on Instagram that showed the two dancing to the song “Dance with My Father” by Luther Vandross. “I am without words…Our family has received the heartbreaking news that my Dad, John Allen Amos, Jr., transitioned on August 21st,” Shannon Amos wrote in the caption. “He was a man with the kindest heart and a heart of gold… and he was loved the world over.
