Mr. Amling, a graduate of Immanuel Lutheran grade school in Des Plaines, was a lifelong member of Immanuel Lutheran Church, where he served for many years on the board of trustees and the board of managers for the church endowment fund. "As a trustee he was an overseer of what went on here," said Rev. Richard Mau, pastor at Immanuel Lutheran. "He was also faithful in his worship. He was here every day helping in any way he could. His concern was that Immanuel always look good." "He was very active in the church," said his wife, Virginia. "He loved to travel. He was a great family man." Mr. Amling also served on the board of directors of the former First National Bank, Des Plaines, from 1965 to 1975.
