John’s daughter Shannon tells TMZ … “The Mayor of East Orange gave my dad a proclamation and announced plans to name both East Orange High Schoolโ€™s football field and a street in his honor.”

As we reported … John died back in August as a result of congestive heart failure, but Shannon claims she didn’t know her dad passed until October, when her brother K.C. Amos announced it in the media.
