Bill Hosman Obituary
Born in Missouri, Bill was one of 14 children. He went on to join the Navy and was honorably discharged just prior to Pearl Harbor. He married Rachel LaLonde of Michigan and they moved to Lodi in the late 1940's. He was one of the first employees of General Mills and later sold cars in Lodi.
Bill was a member of Lodi First Assembly, and later Century Assembly. He also attended Woodbridge Community Church where he loved to sing and play music.
He is survived by his daughter, Lisa Hosman, of Lodi, and one brother, O.C. Hosman, of Texarkana, TX., and numerous nieces and nephews.
In accordance with his wishes, no services are planned.

Lisa I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I remember Bill fondly growing up in First Assembly. He always seemed happy. I'm sure he's happy now too, in Heaven. May you be comforted with this knowledge. God Bless. Kerry & Tammy Suess family.

I'll miss him so much. He's in heaven now and it's comforting to know that I'll see him again. I always loved that he called me "Sam." I guess that was his pet name for me. I love you Bill.

I miss him so much. He taught me so much about living for the Lord. Also because of him, I became a comedian. He loved to be silly out in public and had an amazing sense of humor. I called him "Dad" since I was very young and I can't stand it that he's not here any more. I know he is in Heaven singing and playing his guitar and I can't wait to join his band!
