William Robert Hosea was born in Elmhurst, Illinois on July 21st, 1959, later moving to Phoenix, Arizona in 1979. He was president of Arizona Hardwood Floor Supply, Inc.
Outside of the business, he enjoyed many hobbies throughout his lifetime: motocross racing, photography, model rockets, cars, cigars, golf, and Cardinals’ football – to name a few.
True to his straight forward, no-nonsense philosophy of life, Bill exemplified his love of his spouse, children and friends through actions rather than words. He is survived by his wife of 33 years, Cheryl, sons, Tim and Doug, along with parents, Jim and Mary Sue Long, and brother, Tom. He will be missed by those who knew and loved him.
