In 1956, Willie became half owner of the Westland service station in downtown Bottineau. In 1972, Willie became full owner and continued running this business for many years until he purchased the propane and fuel oil bulk plant on the north side of town. During the summer months, Willie also raised wheat and cattle on the family farm. Willie retired in 1992 but continued to farm for many more years. Willie married Joyce Emerson on February 8, 1953, at First Lutheran Church in Bottineau and they made their home north of Bottineau. Willie was a proud member of the First Lutheran Church, the Veteran of Foreign Wars post in Bottineau, and the Color Guard. At First Lutheran, Willie ushered for funerals and volunteered in the office by helping with the monthly newsletter. Willie also delivered meals for Meals on Wheels. Willie loved to read and owned all of Louis L’Mour’s books. Willie also loved nature and spending time at his farm.
