He was always willing to help cook for a pig roast or barbeque. Most of the time it turned out perfect, but there was a rumor once that the pig tasted a lot like venison!

He will be remembered for his love of the White Earth Valley and the love of he had for the cowboy way of life. Willard spent his life doing what he loved, sitting on his deck visiting, enjoying the view of the valley and he especially enjoyed riding his horse and messing with his coulee cows.

Willard experienced many hardships and loss in his life, but he was a man that gained great faith from it. He knew the Lord was with him and trusted in His care.
