Lewis Cloud Hossman, truck driver, WWII vet
Lewis Cloud Hossman, 77, of Burlington, died at 10:20 a.m. Monday at St. Elizabeth Medical Center South, Edgewood.
Mr. Hossman suffered from cancer, diabetes and heart problems, said his widow, Betty Jane Carroll Hossman.
They were married
Sept. 30, 1944, while Mr. Hossman was on leave from the U.S. Navy.
He served on the U.S.S. Tutuila, an engine repair ship that supported combat ships in World War II.
According to the Mobile Riverine Force Association, "Tutuila served the Fleet as a floating advance base as it swept its way across the Pacific toward Japan.
For the final year of the war, the repair ship engaged in round-the-clock work schedules which seldom slackened."
After the war, Mr. Hossman drove a truck for Roadway Express. He sometimes was on the road for up to three days at a time.
"Many a time, he had come in and before the night was over they would call him back out again," his widow said, but he liked the work and liked seeing the country.
Mr. Hossman was a member of Hebron Lutheran Church and the Florence American Legion Post. A son, Dennis F. Hossman, died in 1989.
